Description
These evidence-based learning (EBL) lessons are based on classroom practice that has been proven, by research, to maximise thinking, learning and attainment. From an extensive review of educational research, we identified the eight key classroom thinking and learning skills that were common across these research papers. We named these eight key skills “EBL skills”.
EBL skills have been proven by research to maximise learning because they combine the most productive thinking skills with the most effective learning behaviours. Each of our evidence-based learning lessons uses the English curriculum as a framework through which the eight EBL skills are delivered.
Teachers also have the opportunity to add to their own skill set or refresh their existing skills with our five-minute CPD activity, based on one of the EBL skills used in this lesson.

This swashbuckling resource uses the adventure of pirate stories to teach important grammar skills in an engaging way. Your students will have so much fun with the pirate theme that they won’t even realise how much they are learning!
Some of the key grammar skills covered include:

There are collaborating activities where students learn from each other, and individual assessments so they can evaluate their own progress.
The gem of this resource is the 5-minute teacher CPD section at the end. This provides an extract from educational research about the relationship between metacognition and self-assessment. There is then a quick activity to help you implement the findings immediately in your classroom.
