ARD Study At Home Tasks
The below table outlines the tasks that students will complete for approximately 4 hours of time whilst at home on an Academic Review Day. Students will choose from a ‘menu’ of tasks that covers three difficulty levels (for differentiation purposes) and different subjects. Ideally the study at home task should be complimentary of the learning that is occurring at that time of year to enable better engagement/completion of work. Work will be checked by form tutors for quality, quantity and challenge. Each task can be a choice of research (discovering new information), reinforcement (task to embed skills learned in lesson), revision (task to look over prior learning).
Please complete each of the blank boxes below to outline the task that students can complete (example included in red).
