John Munro believes :Knowledge is stored in pictorial images.New information is more meaningfully engaged if you activate what the student already knows.Children need to talk about their understandings.Teachers need to give time to students to think and visualise before they come up with the words and sentences.Meta-cognition is important – students need to think about the thinking and reflect.Students should respond in sentences. This helps the memory and the structure they may need to respond in. e.g. essay.Visualisation is important in preparing students to develop pictures about their knowledge.Visualisation and prior experience helps one to gain knowledge.

Key strategies involved in formative assessment• Creating a classroom culture in which al involved see

ability as incremental rather than fixed• Clarifying Learning objectives and establishing pupil

generated and therefore pupil owned criteria.• Enabling and planning effective classroom dialogic talk

and worthwhile questioning• Involving pupils in analysis and discussion about what

excellence consists of. Not just meeting of success criteria but how best to meet them

• Enabling pupils to be effective self and peer evaluators• Establishing continual opportunities for timely review

and feedback from teachers and pupils…(Clarke 2008)
