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 clever resource takes the classic Three Little Pigs story and puts an alternative spin on it by telling parts of the tale from the wolf’s perspective.
Students will work on key English skills like using adjectives for descriptions and nouns for comparisons as they analyze the wolf’s actions and motivations. The lesson features higher and lower order thinking questions that dig deeper into the text.

In addition to the English skills, this lesson builds evidence-based learning abilities like collaborative, metacognitive, and self-assessment skills. The self-assessment questions help students reflect on their own learning process.
