Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Display the Presentation: Retrieval pyramid and hand out whiteboards and pens.

Working from bottom to top, ask the children to identify the keyword each definition refers to and write them on their whiteboards. The keywords could be written on the board randomly to support the children's recall and spelling (see Adaptive teaching).

Take feedback and click each definition to reveal the answers.
