*** Knowledge organiser/worksheet***
This is unique element to my lesson in that I print that Knowledge Organiser sheet in A3 with print flipped on both sides. I fold the recap questions to be on the front and then this acts as a knowledge organiser (most would call this a worksheet but in my opinion it has positive impacts for revision more than working) GREAT for assessing students work during lesson and it’s very clear when they are not engaging/keeping up. Copy this to your format but the way describes work best for me.
