Example two: Image Select an image that connects to HW Have three questions of varying challenge to get students to explore the ideas from the HW One question focused on HW for students who didn’t complete Two more challenging questions

What might the assessment of definitions and poverty look like?

Example 6: Thinking grid with a summary of facts from a HW - Could have centre blank and require students to complete 1st with HW knowledge

When do girls do better than boys? What out of school factors could be causing this? What in school factors could be causing this? If you were a parent of a boy how would this make you feel? When do girls do better than boys? At the end of year one girls are between 7 and 17% points above boys Key stage 1-3 girls consistently do better than boys especially in English, the gap is narrower for maths and science At GCSE the gender gap is around 10% At AS and A Level girls still do better, although the gap is narrower, but girls are more likely to sit exams, pass them and get higher grades More girls also gain distinctions in vocational subjects, including in engineering and construction where they are a tiny proportion
