Emoji Self Assessment 4-Point Scale
Studies show that self-assessment is key to engagement and developing deep understandings.
When students self-assess, not only do they become more invested in the learning process, they are also more likely to seek help when needed.
You can make self-assessment a staple in your classroom by displaying posters and by giving students the mini-version to have at their desk, this way students can use a peg or a counter to show their level of understanding.

4. Peer Book Recommendations Wall
Create a display where students can share their favourite reads with the class. Give each student a blank card or sheet to illustrate the cover of their chosen book and add a short note explaining why others should read it. As the wall fills up, it becomes a colourful gallery of book suggestions, inspiring classmates to try stories they might not have picked up otherwise.
