Planning Principles
• Time is precious
• Marking is planning
• 5 planning questions
• Focus on learning not activities
• ‘Break’ your plan
1. How will last lesson relate to this lesson? 2. Which students do I need to consider
in this particular lesson? (pen portraits) 3. What will students do the moment they
arrive? (anticipation) 4. What are they learning, and what
activities will they undertake in order to learn it?
5. How will I (and they) know if they are making progress?

…try to read between the lines and evaluate the writer’s inten6on a bit
more…
The use of the word ‘poison’ likens Curley’s wife to something that kills and
damages. Also it makes the reader think of plo[ng and secrets which could explain why the men are wary of her because she can get them
into trouble…
Show me a teacher who doesn’t fail every day and I’ll show you a teacher with low expectations for his or her students.

It’s always better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission
Be brilliant and people will forgive you anything
