What rule or principle will the student use to solve the problem?

Do the students possess the background knowledge and prior experience necessary to understand the new or novel situation?

Spiral Review

Allows students to confirm their understanding and assess their own learning

Relates conceptually to current learning

What previously taught skills or knowledge are important for future learning and assessment?

In what ways will this strengthen students’ metacognitive awareness of how well they use skills and knowledge?

What previously taught skills or knowledge serve as a basis for current classroom instruction?

Extension

Requires the use of a variety of skills or knowledge

Does the assignment lead to a new knowledge base or set of concepts?
