Evidence of understanding

  • Before starting a task, name the strategy they plan to use and explain why — e.g. 'I'll make a mind map first because there's a lot to organise'
  • After finishing, honestly evaluate whether their chosen strategy helped or whether a different one would have been better
  • Describe at least three different learning strategies and explain when each works best

Assessment prompt

Does Choosing a Strategy ever talk about *how* they're going to study or practise something — and afterwards think about whether that approach worked?
