The learning progressions map to the Australian curriculum in English and maths, demonstrating the development needed to meet stage outcomes. This Bump it Up Wall uses the Writing "Creating Texts' Sub-element as 'I can' statements, and can be used to determine what students know already, and what they need to learn next in a visible

Time Connectives for Persuasive Paragraph Writing
I have found it so hard trying to find the perfect resource for my visual learning wall to help my students expand their knowledge of time connectives. Too often my students would use 'firstly, secondly, thirdly and finally' when writing an exposition or persuasive paragraph. Not anymore! I have made 3 posters to help start off each of their argument paragraphs:
- Connectives for 1st Argument
- Connectives for 2nd and 3rd Argument and,

Using the Capacity Matrix in Maths Posters - Book layout exceptions (Pink)
In my class I use the Capacity Matrix, a Quality learning pedagogy, to drive student led learning. The students follow the NSW continuum of key ideas in maths (I choose the focus for the term based on our school scope and sequence) to explore, discover and learn on their own.
These posters provide the steps required to undertake their learning journey and all students set their book work out in this structure. It makes their learning easy to follow and organised. Every teachers dream!
