O How to get students
to work harder than
the teacher.
O Develop transferable
skills.
 The idea is that pupils cannot rely on
asking the teacher to tell them the
answers, so everyone has to focus on the
learning materials provided.
 Works best when pupils are given a
variety of forms (images, printed text and
moving images).
 Limits teacher talk
 The teacher finds alternative ways
to deliver information.
 Encourages note-taking,
independent thinking and group
work.
 Provide a variety of information in a
variety of form (images, written texts,
film clips)
 Pupils work independently to make
notes – provide a time limit for each
source to prevent pupils simply copying
large chunks of text.
 Share with another pupil – then share
with a group.
