Demonstrate ‘visible’ progress
Easily differentiated
Mop up the remaining post-it notes as a review
Starter, review and plenary activity ( quick win!)

3. Idea 2: Literacy: Word Freeze
Source A: Private Stuart Dolden wrote about his experiences in the trenches after the war.
We had to sleep fully dressed, of course, this was very uncomfortable with the pressure of ammunition on one's chest restricted breathing; furthermore, when a little warmth was obtained the vermin used to get busy, and for some unexplained reason they always seemed to get lively in the portion of one's back, that lay underneath the belt and was the most inaccessible spot. The only way to obtain relief was to get out of the dugout, put a rifle barrel between the belt and rub up and down like a donkey at a gatepost. This stopped it for a bit, but as soon as one got back into the dugout, and was getting reasonably warm so would the little brutes get going again.
Extended Thinking: Was it really like this? Find a source that disagrees with the viewpoint from the challenge pot.
