- 1Revisit a previously taught word through a new task or representation rather than redisplaying the same definition
- 2Give individual thinking time so every learner attempts retrieval
- 3Reveal a reference and correct one gap with an explanation
- 4Return after a gap using a changed example or representation
Hide a force diagram. Learners sketch the two forces and recall what zero resultant means. A later diagram uses a moving object to test whether balanced forces are confused with being stationary.

EAL upgrade
Remove hints gradually; keep the delayed check and corrective feedback.
Keep the subject challenge. Offer one model, visual or language prompt where needed, then check a fresh independent response.
Try it tomorrow
Choose a small target from an earlier lesson and a new prompt for it.
Revisit a previously taught word through a new task or representation rather than redisplaying the same definition. Give individual thinking time so every learner attempts retrieval.
Check the later response without the original diagram or answer visible.

Teacher language
Adapt these prompts to the task and your learners.
Our purpose is: Revisit a previously taught word through a new task or representation rather than redisplaying the same definition.
Try without looking first; then explain what you corrected.
Try the new case on your own. Show the detail or reasoning that supports your answer.
Which support do you still need, and which part can you now do independently?
Across subjects
Maths: recall a method and justify its first step. Humanities: retrieve a cause and its connection to the outcome.
Adjust language support
Use a small word bank, visuals and partner rehearsal when needed. Extend with precise explanations and qualifications. Judge the support from the response to this task.
