Mini-Whiteboards for Guided Practice
Using mini-whiteboards means every student can listen, talk, and try skills during whole-class teaching.
Tip: L-sleeves with a sheet of card inside make a cheap and effective alternative. You can also slip templates or texts inside.
We recommend establishing clear protocols so boards are quickly distributed and put away, and used to support (not distract from) learning.
Thanks to Denise Lee (Waimea Intermediate) for sharing these posters with us.
