One day a student of mine said “you should make a toolkit the band Wham!” The rest is history. Wham! Your Work is a simple marking and feedback template designed to be used with students during peer assessment. Using coded marking students complete sections - ‘W - what went well’ and ‘H - how could you improve’. Once work is returned students complete sections - ‘A’ - apply your improvements and ‘M’ - move onto a stretch and challenge task. A very simple to use toolkit but highly effective method of structuring feedback. I always play some Wham! while completing feedback. The kids love to hate it.

Do I really understand? A whole school assembly promoting effective note taking skills. Suitable for any school, age or context. Students firstly learn the importance of effective note taking and are introduced to a few suitable methods to be used in any context. Students then try out their newfound knowledge in a competition style quiz around “how to become Pope”. The quiz is exceptionally difficult and only possible to succeed with good note taking. To be explicitly clear there are a number of videos you require to use this assembly that I cannot include due to copyright issues. However with a few simple searches (guidance provided) you should be able to find it! I have also included a transcript you could read aloud or ask students to perform if you’d rather not use or cannot find the video. Hope you find this useful.

This teaching toolkit technique called “the 3 wise monkeys” has been designed based on one of my favourite proverbs “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The idea is that students take on the role of the 3 monkeys: Mizaru, who sees nothing; Kikazaru, who hears nothing; and Iwazaru, who speaks nothing. It aims to promote challenge, listening skills, student interaction and peer teaching. Comes with student template to be adapted to any subject and any topic and teacher instruction sheet.
