Literacy Wheel

UPDATED APRIL 2014

Resources:


Literacy Wheel- CLICK HERE FOR AN EDITABLE TEMPLATE available on the TES.

Here is a link to a PowerPoint version of the wheel. (Somebody adapted my original) 




How It Works/Variations:


This wheel has been designed by The Bulmershe School English Dept. It is designed to make students comfortable with definitions of command words within examinations/controlled assessments/class tasks.


Examples of how it can be used:

  • Students can cover the triangle and see if they can match the definition with the correct command word; perfect for exam preparation.
  • Peer assess a piece of work checking whether the student has accurately fulfilled the command words requirement in the writing by checking the literacy wheel for the command word and definition.
  • Write out the command words and definitions using the wheel.
  • Revise/test/check with partners/groups. 


Check out these edited/adapted wheels inspired by mine!
