Concentric Squared

Resources:
Create the below.
Example here by @tombrush1982



What to do:

This activity is a variation/adaptation of my earlier concentric square post- click here!

First question:
On an A5 sheet- What do we already know?
Stick the A5 sheet on an A4 sheet- What do we want to know?
Then stick the A4 sheet onto an A3 sheet- How will we find out the answers
Then A3 sheet stuck onto a larger piece of sugar paper- Where all additional info is added- marks in the exam, time, links to resources, other ideas, info, facts.
(This idea has been adapted by many- I first saw it being demonstrated by Dr Andy Love- an AST colleague of mine.)

Variations:

Use SOLO!
Or simply use an A4 page with boxes within it, as seen below- use IDENTIFY, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN….
