Teach meet in Taunton

Here are my notes from the teach meet last week at Bishop Fox's school in Taunton. What a lovely evening - especially the food made by the Year 11 catering team. There were ideas for all subjects. 

Search for soul pancake on YouTube.
Table Safari - places information or texts on tables for students to move around and collect information.
Extended writing - keep asking why for students to extend their answers and give reasons in their writing.
Use haiku deck as an alternative to PowerPoint.
Give students hexagons for them to put keywords from the lesson. Ask them to make links between hexagons. Can they join theirs up with their partners?
The scary scale 0-10 - learning check on MWB.
Flipped learning - homework is to find out about and then use next lesson to complete a task.
Look for stanchester school's lesson planning app and question generator app using Bloom's.
Pointless gameshow - items you would find in a pencil case. Students to come up with as many answers in 100 seconds as possible. The most obscure the better. If other teams have your answer you get a point. Team with the least points wins.
