Key Questions are vital
• Are phrased in language suitable for learners
• Contain the required learning
• Allow the teacher to control the learning or “line” contained within the story
• Lead to activities which develop skills and/or knowledge
• Can come from pupils too of course!

Storyline – How should I use it?• Try an existing plan initially to gain confidence
and experience
• Ensure your storyline devices are suitable for your pupils – if unsure get advice from SMT
• One storyline per class per session is enough
• As you gain experience adapt your storylines to allow pupils to lead as much as possible
• Enter into the spirit of storyline and make it enjoyable for your pupils – and you!
