Packed with inspiration for busy teachers, this book has over 85 structured, practical and enjoyable classroom activities that will help even the most reluctant learners master the vital skills needed to progress at Key Stage 3. From simple description and understanding to the more independent skills of analysis and evaluation, each chapter tackles a different skill that can be applied across all subject areas, building a whole-school approach to learning. The instructions for each activity are easy to follow, with group size, resources and time needed clearly set out. Teachers can choose from activities that take only ten minutes to complete, to those that can be planned as whole lessons or can be used in pastoral tutor programmes. As well as helping to engage students with their learning, the fun activities will build confidence and creativity and promote discussion. Developing and nurturing those vital learning skills just got easier!
