CONTEXT / BACKGROUND
Over the years there has been many acronyms for creating introductions, body paragraphs, etc to help students structure the content of critical essays. This can be restrictive for all learners, not just the more able.
WHAT WE DID
With this in mind I approached the whole idea of Knowledge as a basis leading through to elaboration. Students took their knowledge, analysed it in the way they have always done and then elaborated on their analysis.
HOW WE DID IT
The powerpoint attached gives full details of my rationalle and student voice, as well as an example of a student padlet which was then turned into an A1 essay with no acronym structure used.
IMPACT / OUTCOMES
Student voice shows improvement in attitude and attainment was raised.
FEEDBACK
Student voice shows improvement in attitude and attainment was raised.
