<p><b>A: Groupings</b></p>
<ul><li> Working in pairs or small groups</li></ul>

<ul><li> Relevant visual image &#8211; with large space around it on which to add labels.</li></ul>
<p></p>
<p><b>C: Role of the teacher</b></p>
<ul><li> Do not tell the pupils the answer.</li>
<li> Use prompt questions when necessary &#8211; e.g. the 5 Ws: Who? What? Where? When? Why?</li>
<li> Listen to all of the answers given by the class you may wish to pursue methods of thinking to use in the Metacognitive plenary later or as you are going along.</li>
<li> This technique can be used as a starter, in addition to being used as the main activity of a lesson.</li></ul>
<p></p>
<p><b>D: Timings</b></p>
<ul><li> This will vary according to task</li></ul>
