Using it in class

Read aloud without supplying the answer. Point to the printed examples. These choices model editing; follow each short round with actual shared writing or dictation. A plain statement can be made excited with an exclamation mark, so prompts specify the writer’s purpose.

Give everyone time to think and discuss before one pupil acts at the board. The class explains and confirms together; hints and explanations stay until you move on.

Use an up-to-date browser on a computer connected to a whiteboard or shared display. Touch, mouse and keyboard; optional audio and reduced motion. No pupil accounts or personal devices.

Choose from 5 challenges up to the full activity. Discussion determines the duration: you set the pace.
