At St W’s KS3 children stuck their printed work into A4 books. When I first saw this I thought it was rubbish, but I came round, the linear order of a book coupled with the stickyness of glue makes it a good way of seeing what work is there and what is missing. In fact at this school I asked for books for my year 7′s.
They have been sitting at the front of the room waiting for me to give them out for a few weeks. I am going to bite the bullet tomorrow and have “fun” (hmm) with scissors and glue.
