@mrw3bb Very much so. Thanks for letting me know

Preparing carefully beforehand is the best way to be ready to improvise successfully during a lesson. When you know your lesson well, your working memory is free to perceive what students are doing & thinking. This allows you to better decide how to make adaptations & changes.

What a great idea!

[Mr Hassan History @andyhassan1985]

I have created a bite-sized plenary/HW interpretations tasks for GCSE called 'Scholarship Postcards'. I've been inspired by @historychappy's scholarship talk at @TMHistoryIcons & @ArthurJChapman on indentifying facts to reveal the argument. #historyteacher #edutwitter
