This is used where a student identifies and lists different attributes e.g. points in a story, qualities for a character, or desirable outcomes for an object. This generates lots of new ideas.
You can either suggest the initial blocks of attributes yourself or leave all the decisions open.

Brace Maps help learners understand the relationship between a whole physical object and its parts.
They are used to analyse the structure of an item – like ‘dissecting’..... but on paper!
Need to break something down...

Bubble maps are used to describe qualities using adjectives and adjective phrases, character traits or properties.
As a writing tool it enriches students’ abilities to identify qualities and use descriptive words.
As a thinking tool it allows students to consider all factors and attributes.

Circle Maps are used to help define an object or idea. It is used to brainstorm ideas and for showing prior
knowledge about a topic. The centre of the circle can be used for words, numbers,
pictures, or any other sign or symbol. In the outer circle, write or draw any information that
puts the topic into context. This can be extended by using the outer circle to think
about learning, for example, stating ‘how we know’

... Use a Circle Map
The lines show how ideas link to other ideas. Concept maps ask students to make links between areas
of a topic and explain the reasoning behind the links.
Want to link ideas or topics together...

... Use a Concept Map
Used for comparing and contrasting – similar to a Venn diagram.
Outside bubbles show items that share qualities with only one object – contrasting qualities.
Centre bubbles show similarities between the two items being compared.
It can also be used to prioritise the information that is most important.

Flow maps sequence and order a process. It identifies the relationships between stages and sub-stages of
an event, e.g. order, numbers, operations, steps, etc. It can be used to explain the order of the events. Smaller boxes can be used to list sub-stages or identify each
major stage.

... Use a Flow Map
Used when students act out a scene, scenario, practical situation or sport activity – teacher shouts out “FREEZE!” or “HOLD IT!”
Good for active lessons such as PE, Dance or Drama

... Use a Freeze Frame!
What’s going on – can you describe it?
HOLD
Students have a limit imposed on the activity. They think through what is most important, then ‘bin’
irrelevant or least relevant material. Good for when students need to make notes.

No more than 10 lines

Keep it to 2 sides of A4
... Impose a limit
A process of sequencing that looks at what caused an event and the results/effects of the event.
It helps students analyse a situation – the ‘why’ and the ‘consequences’ (good or bad).
It can also be used to make predictions and consider the consequences.
Want to think about cause and effect...

The process of thinking through and justifying the order is sometimes more beneficial than the outcomes.
Students should be encouraged to justify their priorities not just order them.
Need to get thinking...
...Prioritise it!
Students reduce information and make notes. Can be used in conjunction with prioritising e.g. reduce to 5 key
words and then prioritise their order of importance. Reduction can also be used with thinking maps e.g. turn a topic
into a brace map.
Need to get thinking...
...Reduce it!
What are the 5 key words?
Summarise in two sentences
Adopts a creative approach to an idea, object, story, etc. Can be extended to ask students to justify their choices or to
explain whether they would work or not. Can be adapted for large groups where smaller groups focus on
one or two ideas.

Students talk through the process of an activity. By talking and explaining, they strengthen their understanding. Also known as ‘Dialogic Thinking’. Pictures can be drawn to support the idea/concept. Used to reinforce understanding.

For classifying, grouping or sorting into categories. Used for both deductive and inductive classifications.

A student teaches another person – student/parent/teacher.
Challenge the ‘teacher’ to put structure into their learning sequence and then think how to actively engage the learner.
