?Ideas to embed KOs & learning over time into lessons/homeworkUsed – Yes/NoStrengths of this approachWeakness of this approachvocabulary work – the students use the KO?vocab in sentences linking it to the story and for the more able to create a paragraph In context – easy to manageSpeed of feedback – needs varietyForm questions using the vocabulary about the story for answering.In context – deepens understanding – more exploration Use the KOs to pose a question to another student.Target pairs Hard for lower ability Call out some of the information from the KO to the class and got them to self assess in their books with a tick :-/ or cross how they felt about that information, then asked them to learn it.Personal engagement Informs their revision Consistency over time…? In teaching if I know the information is in the KO and they are asking me or each other I am saying to them - have a look in your KO and they are looking up the information, reinforcing the usefulness of these tools.They are engaging and revisiting and revising/reinforcing Starter tasks being used to embed learning over time consistently?Regular remindersNeeds variety Short quick quizzes Motivating – opp for some repetition – even for low ability Needs variety Questions in teaching to link?back?and?forward?Puts learning in contextNeeds to be relevant – not randomHomework used to interleave previous/current learning for both Lang & LitVery useful to recaptBuilds confidence See links/whole picture Can be a distraction from unit Peer marking 11 down to 10 used very well to embed cognition of different skills being used (one to explore further)Not tried – interesting concept Quote explosions for concise layers of meaning being used wellConcise analysis – live modelling – lots of depth – diff interpretations Can you assess accurately students understandingDifferentiated learning in place - literacy starters embedded for lower ability students Useful – can be embedded as teaching when noticed Get students to quiz each other using the KO Use the five in five starter to introduce the KO infoReading task – get students to read the task and ask them to analyse some of the key quotes or create a profile of the core content/characters/themes etc.Reading task – create a red herring information about the KO and get students to identify the herringsWriting tasks – give students a task which involves applying the information in the KO E.g. Write an acronym poem to explore the skills in the KO, or write about a time when you knew less about R&J than you did now and wow me with your current knowledge, or write a diary entry as Juliet explaining all the things other characters have said and done Create a KO bingo card and play the bingo game – students who get a line have to explain how the Bingo word in their line is relevantFun Less interested in meaning just in winningDiscussion based task – explain what the KO is about and why they need to know the information on it. Get students to discuss what they know.Metacognition use reinforces reason behind it Bit vagueUse some of the metacognition tasks. E.g. – Write a letter to a parent to explain what you absolutely must know in relation to (insert KO). Remember to include – (subtitles from the KO here) – See the Metacognition Guide as an example of some of the tasks that could be used as an example for embedding this into lessonsThis is really helpful – helps us as teachers check understanding Make sure letter/non-fiction conventions are covered properlyCreate KO bookmarks using the different sections – task the students with learning the information and reciting it to the rest of the classNice idea – ownership Limited overall recallGet students into groups and do a silent debate – give 4 key titles and ask them to silently add to all sections till all full of their knowledge and added to by each other. (diff coloured pen to show who has made most points) Good ideas here – when writing on someone elses work you think harder Get students to create their own questions on the KOYes helpful and get students to think how they might digest it and not just read it through Unhelpful/weird questions that confuse may happenLearning grids and dice games – can be pictoral clues or prompts or questions in the grids Other Ideas for embedding Kos/Learning over time ................
