They include ideas on collecting information, the strategic use of questioning, giving feedback, and introducing peer and self-assessment.

Collecting information

Ask learners to create one sentence to summarise what they learn about this issue at the start or end of a lesson. You could focus this by telling them to include e.g. what or why or how etc.

In the final end of a lesson learners share due to their partner:

• Three things that are new have learnt
• What they found easy
• Whatever they found difficult
• Something they wish to learn as time goes by.

Give learners red, yellow and green cards (or they are able to make these themselves at home). At different points during the lesson, ask them to decide on a card and place it to their desk to demonstrate how much they understand (red = don’t understand, yellow = partly understand, green = totally understand).
