Each group is allocated a particular topic which they have to learn about and become experts in certain aspects of that topic. Once they have become experts they try to teach the other groups in the class by sharing their topic findings (research). In essence they are researching: trying to find out what they can about their designated topic.

11. Formative Assessment Traffic Light Technique for self and peer assessment Click for Instructions

12. Self & Peer Assessment Use of the traffic light. Any learning or activity can be assessed using the traffic light. Move the mouse over the traffic light. When the mouse is over the red light the message – ‘I don’t understand yet’ appears. Similarly, the amber light gives – ‘I’m not sure’ and green – ‘I understand’. When you click on a light – red, amber or green – a tick appears; click again and it disappears. This can be used to self or peer assess individual progress. This can be attached to any digitally mapped activity. Once each individual has completed each arm of the map, and ‘ticked’ the appropriate light, the map can be printed out (press alt/Prnt Scrn and paste in a WP document) and used as evidence. This can be used to inform personal learning plans. Back to Traffic Light

13. Some Definitions Definition of Learning Intentions Goals that are set for the outcome of a lesson or series of lessons. They may be related to a process or the final product. Definition of Success Criteria It aims to help pupils know the purpose of a task and to recognise the standards they are aiming for. To encourage children to take responsibility for their learning, it is important to explain, and, at best, to generate with children, the success criteria for the task in hand.
