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.

“Cinderella Gets on the Prince’s Nerves” – A Spellbinding Lesson on Writing Recounts
I’ve just discovered an excellent KS2 resource that integrates teaching key English writing skills with developing essential thinking and learning strategies – maximising curriculum time. It’s built around a hilarious imaginary scenario of marital strife between Cinderella and Prince Charming!
🚀 Why this Cinderella lesson works
🌟 Covers features and structure of recounts
🌟 Teaches using 1st and 3rd person
🌟 Develops 5 key evidence-based learning skills: collaboration, thinking skills, peer assessment, independent learning and self-regulation
🌟 Includes a 5 minute CPD activity on benefits of self-regulated classrooms
The lesson explains the purpose and structure of recounts, including using time order and the past tense. A fun collaborative task then gets students writing a mock diary entry from the prince’s perspective, moaning about Cinderella’s annoying habits! This applies the teaching in a highly engaging way.
Students peer assess each other’s work before creating their own checklist for writing recounts – fostering independent learning. Self-reflection on the need to persevere even when work is challenging then develops self-regulation.
I would give this complete, ready to use lesson 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for its creativity in fusing curriculum objectives with research-backed strategies. The Cinderella context hooks students into applying new writing skills.
I highly recommend this resource for an efficient and enjoyable way to cover multiple learning aims.
