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!
