Literacy Modelling
A number of colleagues have asked to see models of 'light-touch' literacy being applied to different subjects. The two videos here show MHs explaining how to describe and explain in science - both are around the two-minute mark and show the modelling / success criteria element really clearly - do have a look and let TB know if you'd like to experiment with making similar vids for your subject.

Science Dominoes
Please see this very successful activity from Science - this was a dominoes game to help students revise a broad range of factual knowledge in order to prepare for an assessment. Students worked hard on this for a sustained period, because the teacher provided supplementary resources to them to look up answers if they found gaps in their knowledge.
