Structure Slips

Resources:

Make your own structure slips, or here are some examples by searching here!

What to do:

@MrLockyer has come up with a simply fantastic way to get students to think about the structure of their writing. He has lots of other ideas in his brilliant book, 100 ideas for Primary School teachers. Click here to purchase!

Get them to stick a strip of paper in the margin of their books and ask them to write next to the corresponding box, in the space allocated too.

Structure Strips – to maintain focus with structure. (Think they are in my #100ideas book) #primaryrocks cc @leah_moo @BloomsburyEd pic.twitter.com/4D4IE5ayQK

This idea has been picked up by many teachers and there has been benefiting thousands of students thanks to @MrLockyer

Variations:

The structure slips are created by you, so personalise them to your subject.

Here @JiveSpin is using the idea for History.

Super work with my first attempt using structure strips with Y10. Great with peer assess. Thanks for the inspiration! #pedagoofriday pic.twitter.com/VbPh8krSuR
