Mrs Humanities shares… twitter highlights #4

Jun 16, 2019 by MrsHumanities Leave a comment

Wow, this term has started with chaos; stomach bug, camps, interdisciplinary activities and trips, end of year exams to mark…. as a result I’ve not posted a blog since the end of May. So I thought I’d start with Twitter Highlights number 4, I’ve added a few extra ones in since I’ve missed two weeks.

Hope you find something of use in the highlights below.

Geography

An awesome interactive graphic to the demographic transition model … as health improves people have fewer babies but look at how this dramatically changes all arround the worlds as birth rates shrink #geography #geographyteacher pic.twitter.com/qcTOfOPCqH

Year 7 plastic footprints created after a lesson on the oceans and the consequences of plastic making its way into the oceans.

History

Using ‘starter for 10’ recall quizzes to show progress over time. Self marked and improved, easily interleaved and an easy to use teacher template to edit to target a specific area of knowledge. #historyteacher #gcse pic.twitter.com/oesXLLYGkn

I’m a big fan of using grids to teach sentence structure. Picked this idea up on a course (can’t remember which one), and I find it really helps the kids understand how to create more interesting compound and complex sentences @WritingRocks_17 @Team_English1 #PrimaryRocks pic.twitter.com/mwXNvWiZmB

Retrieval Practice placemat, a prompt for students to use at the start of a lesson … through verbal or written answers.

I learn so much from @olicav about layout & inspired by the blogs @effortfuleduktr writes too! #TeachUAEchat #UKEdChat #SLTchat #CogSci ✏️ 📖 🧠 pic.twitter.com/GvnZZqlVj0
