Discussion question · 10 marks
Reflect on a recent summary writing lesson you conducted where students struggled to meet the assessment criteria. If you were to redesign this lesson using the metacognitive techniques discussed—specifically modeling and reflective prompting—how would you structure the lesson to ensure students successfully self-regulate their drafting process? Provide specific examples of the reflective questions you would introduce at the planning and drafting stages, and explain how these questions would change for your most and least confident learners to ensure differentiation.
