For their homework assignment, ask the pupils to gather the concepts they found most convincing from the lesson. They should do this by sharing the work they created in class (such as a mind map) and arranging these ideas on a quadrant chart you have provided. Afterwards, you can check their understanding, plan to address any misconceptions as a starter for the next lesson, and encourage them to produce a piece of work that also serves as an excellent revision resource.

This is an example of a simple, yet easy to understand peer-to-peer lesson/lecture observation for your department to use while watching each others lessons. This is great for training new teachers on how to provide feedback, but also useful as a tool to have reflective conversations about the development of your department as a whole.
