Learning grids – linking to learn John Mitchell @Jivespin
What is a learning grid? The activity itself involves a grid of 12 to 16 squares – each square is numbered. In each square there is a word or image – they are all connected to a topic or a sub-topic. The grid can either be given to students on paper or projected from a PowerPoint slide. You will need 12 sided dice for the students to complete the activity.
Plenary learning grid – throw the dice and complete the plenary dependent on which number you throw
Why use a learning grid in your lesson? Engaging and challenging activity. Encourages students to make links between different areas within a topic. Encourages students to apply their knowledge and use subject specific vocabulary. Allows students to work collaboratively. Excellent revision and reviewing strategy.
