How to use Thinking Dice History examples
| Tudor Plenary Activity - Pairs |
 |
 |
|
Curriculum subject: History
Learning intention of lesson: Do I know why Anne Boleyn was executed? Year group: 4 (8-9 yrs)
Children sit in pairs/small groups. Pupils take turns to roll dice; they then use the question structures to help ask their partner questions. Partners, using higher order thinking, try to answer!
Remembering Dice: Pupil rolls “Can you list…?” Pupil asks “Can you list the six wives of Henry VIII?”
Understanding Dice: Pupil rolls “What is meant by…?” Pupil asks “What is meant by the word treason?”
Applying Dice: Pupil rolls “What questions would you ask…?” Pupil asks “What questions would you ask Anne Boleyn?”
Analysing Dice: Pupil rolls “What are some of the problems…?” Pupil asks “What are some of the problems of being a wife of Henry VIII?”
Evaluating Dice: Pupil rolls “How would you select…?” Pupil asks “How would you select a wife, if you were a Tudor King?”
Creating Dice: Pupil rolls “Can you propose an alternative…?” Pupil asks “Can you propose an alternative punishment for a Queen who was found guilty of treason?”
The teacher may want to outline class rules for what to do if a child rolls the die and then cannot generate a question from the structure shown on that particular face. Our advice is to not make a fuss and roll again!
