Share a Strong Student Sentence
Bring an anonymised example to a meeting and identify the subject knowledge and language move it shows.
Worked model: Share a Strong Student Sentence
- 1Bring an anonymised example to a meeting and identify the subject knowledge and language move it shows
- 2Read both responses for meaning
- 3Annotate the difference that improves evidence, precision or explanation
- 4Close the models and apply that move to a new question
Share an anonymised sentence that links evidence to a claim clearly. Discuss the move it performs and try it with a fresh result rather than asking learners to copy the sentence.

Teacher language
Adapt these prompts to the task and your learners.
Our purpose is: Bring an anonymised example to a meeting and identify the subject knowledge and language move it shows.
Show the relationship and explain the choice you made.
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: compare result-only and justified solutions. Humanities: compare supported and unsupported interpretations.
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.
