The amazing Rachel Jones was also present at #PedagooLondon and she shared a whole host of ideas to stretch learners into higher order thinking skills. Here are some of my favourites:

Use string to create a visual representation of a discussion and to encourage the development of ideas. Students pass the ball of string around the room until a web has been created. All students should contribute at least one idea to the discussion.

Use 3D shapes to create essay plans, ask evaluative questions and form ideas in a more tangible way.

The Padlet links to templates and ideas for this kind of work.
