AFL PACKS

THE BASICS • Mini whiteboard pens (and wipes ideally) for writing on the laminated vote! cards and exit tickets.

• Highlighters can be used for lots of great things. In an AFL sense, I use them for highlighted peer marking. E.g. Use one colour to highlight strengths and another colour to target areas for improvement.

• Post – its used for all sorts – exit cards, opinion polls, peer feedback etc.

LEARNING MATS Simplified success criteria – kept very simple. Used as a learning mat when completing reading/writing/S+L tasks.

It is used as a basic guide – kept simple so all abilities can access it. Used for peer and self assessment and serves as a visual checklist for students when completing their work.

N.B. Used as a stepping stone to assessment criteria not as a replacement!

TWITTER FEEDBACKReadily available in AFL packs for students to use if they want to ‘Tweet the Teacher’.

Students use these to ask teacher questions about their learning or as a response to my marking in their book.

Space provided for teacher to ‘tweet’ back to encourage student/teacher dialogue.

THE GOOD GRAMMAR GUIDEUsed as a reference tool for definitions of language features and all things grammar related.

Great for encouraging independent learning.

Always readily available to students to help with the “Three before me”/”Brain, book, buddy, boss” ethos.

VOTE! PADDLESUsed in classroom discussions, as plenaries and in multiple choice quizzes.

Lots of possibilities, Y/N, T/F, multiple choice, showing levels/grades when peer assessing etc.

A quick easy way to see class progress/understanding.

COMPLIMENT/CHALLENGE Used in class discussion as a ‘supporting talk’ strategy.

Students must listen to comments made and build on those comments by ‘complimenting’ them or offer an opposing view/idea by ‘challenging’ what they have heard.

Encourages active listening and a debate where ideas are built on rather than 30 different ideas being shared separately.

EXIT TICKET WALLStudents reflect on their learning, the LOs or a question of your choice and write it on the laminated exit ticket.

Ticket has velcro on it so that it can then be stuck to the ‘EXIT TICKET WALL’ (or in my case pillars!).

Take a photo to record student responses.
