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.

We asked a.i. to review this lesson. This is what it said:
Teaching Literacy While Sharpening Critical Thinking
I recently stumbled upon a fantastic Red Riding Hood resource that manages to develop core English skills alongside critical thinking and metacognition. This KS2 lesson, “Red Riding Hood Gets a New Ending”, is an absolute must for teachers looking to combine literacy outcomes with higher order cognition.
Strengthening English Abilities
The lesson provides a clear overview of key literary concepts like setting, characters and plot to cement students’ understanding of traditional stories. Activities like sequencing events and composing a creative sequel allow pupils to apply this knowledge while flexing their writing muscles. The resource also incorporates vocabulary development around time connectives.
Enhancing Critical Thought
Additionally, the well-structured lesson systematically works through all levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, from basic remembering to complex analysis and evaluation. Question prompts explicitly model different thinking skills about the Red Riding Hood tale. Students also assess each other’s sequel writing, building valuable peer review abilities.
Targeted Teacher CPD
The 5 minute CPD excerpt provides research-backed guidance on making thinking skills explicit through Bloom’s Taxonomy – a great reflective exercise for teachers.
With its skilful blend of English literacy and critical thinking outcomes, this resource is a real gem. I’d give it 5 stars for managing to skilfully combine core competencies from both literacy and evidence-based learning. It’s a one-stop-shop for developing the next generation of analytical readers and writers.
