You are a great listener because you look at people while they talk and add
thoughtful comments when they have fi nished.
I am going to be a better listener.
I am going to wait until someone fi nishes
talking before I start talking.
Now I need to think about what and who helped me link what I
already knew with what I have learnt.
You have shown great connections between what you have learnt and what
you knew before.
Can you now think about what helped you make the
connections?
Can you now think about what you
still need to know
and do? I also need
to think about what I want to do next.
I can think about my goals.

100 Smart Thinking
Criteria and/or analytical rubrics can help pupils choose appropriate goals by breaking complex tasks into elements against which the pupils’ work can be assessed. This in turn helps the pupils to know what makes good work and which aspects they are good at, or need to work on (See Tables 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4).
TABLE 6.1 Goal setting for team skills
