My Turn Your Turn – I do, you do
At our school, we do a lot of MY Turn Your Turn. A form of direct instruction where children repeat back. This allows us to embed certain vocabulary or ideas. It also allows teachers to quickly assess who is on board. In the table below, there are different ways to do this. In Maths, it might be “I say 3, you say 3” or “I show a 3 Numicon, you say 3” or “I say 3, you show a 3 Numicon” etc. In English, it might be “I say ‘lion’, you say ‘lion'” or “I show a ‘lion’ word card, you say ‘lion'” or “I say ‘l-i-o-n’, you show a ‘ion’ word card” etc.
Just to be clear, this isn’t a sheet to be shared with the children. It is just a range of possible ways we can use My Turn Your Turn in a range of permutations.
