Write topics, parts, key points on pieces of card. In groups, students need to sort into an order – prioritise their top 3 and justify selection.
Ask groups of students to write different QUEST trails for to then stretch and challenge each other.
In small groups, ask students to list the 3 least obvious key points from the last lesson.
A selection of quick questions for individuals or teams. Students write the answers down and then peer assess each others answers.
Students write a question on a post-it notes and stick on the board. Teacher photographs this and puts on Moodle. Answer a question for homework.
In small groups, ask students to list the 3 least obvious key points from the last lesson.
Ask a question to the class. Individuals think and write notes. Pair up and compare then share with the class
Play a game of QUEST blackjack, or the QUEST board game to check learning of lots of topics. (very useful for revision)
Write a short quiz on Moodle to check the students learning. Review the results and set the same quiz at the end of the unit or module.
Have a Socrative room running throughout your lesson. Ask “yes/no”, “true/false”, multi choice or short answer questions at any time for students on mobiles.
Give groups of students different information to teach. Each group then send representatives to other groups to learn other information before swapping over.
Give your students the specification and ask them to create the assessment method. It might give you some interesting ideas too!
Complete an individual written task at the end of a QUEST trail – summarise or justify something.
Using iPads, mobiles, or cameras, student can create quick videos demonstrating, teaching or explaining a concept.
In groups, a piece of flip chart paper, students write as many Post-its as possible about a topic. No post is wrong – the more the better.
Groups are given different information to become experts. Swap round so each group has different experts to share information then complete a task.
Using the excel Domino maker, ask groups of students to match the definitions and explanations to make a circle of dominoes.
Write a QUEST trail for students to work together in answering questions that stretch and challenge each other.
Ask students to peer assess each others’ work on-line, marking against the criteria. Then get another peer to check that the peer assessment did not miss anything.
Ask a question to the class. Individuals think and write notes. Pair up and compare then share with the class
Write a QUEST trail for students to question themselves, each other and what they think they know.
Teacher thinks of something (topic related) and students have 15 questions to work out what it is. “yes“ or “no” answers only.
Ask students to explain to the group a word, topic or subject – but they are not allowed to say that word.
Pose a question. Wait while students think. Pounce on a learner with the same question. Follow up by bouncing a “Why? or What would happen if… “ question.
In small groups, ask students to list the 3 least obvious key points from the last lesson.
Place a topic related item in the box. Students guess, with either “yes” or “no” answers, what’s in the box.
