🌟AIC revision🌟 This statement resource on the characters (link below) works really well for AIC because it generates discussion and writing opportunities, and because it helps students to have an opinion. This year I added in a vocab list to encourage greater use of key words

In dept CPD we discussed how to make retrieval more strategic, encouraging connections between ideas. I was thinking how best to do this. This AIC resource gives students statements to debate, pulling in knowledge from across AIC….1/2

It appear that when we read a sentence, the cognitive load is greatest at the end of the sentence where we experience a 'wrap up' effect as we draw the themes together. The more clauses, the greater the demand (Lobina et al. 2017).
