TeachMeet June 2015 Mike Baker AHT
I’m Still Stuck This can be used at the end of a topic or series of lessons as a gap analysis plenary Give students 2-3 post-it notes each. Provide a sheet with a list of objectives from the topic (differentiate into Developing/Secure/Extending etc). Students pick something they are stuck with and write it + their name on a post it. Students stick these on the board under the headings. Then peers come and take post-its and go and find someone to help or unblock.

Body Shapes Plenary Great at the end of the lesson to check understanding. Very popular as a leg-stretcher with those kinesthetic learners! Make up some quiz questions with options A B C D to cover the content of the lesson. Give each option a body shape e.g. if you think the answer is A stand on one leg, B make ‘glasses’, C hand on hip in a ‘teapot’ shape, D make a ‘church’ shape. Then ask the questions and use the visual feedback to see who knows what and to drop on individuals to say why they have chosen that answer option.
