SAY IT AGAIN BETTER.

WHY?

Say It Again Better raises expectations for the quality of student responses. By accepting initial answers but prompting for improvement, teachers push students to think more deeply and express ideas with greater precision. 

GET STARTED.

Some questions to get you thinking about this technique.

• Why should you not accept short, shallow answers? 

• How can you effectively format a pupil’s answer without knocking their confidence? 

• Can you think of any topics of your own subject where the format or terminology used in students’  answers matters?

• Note down an example of a common answer that pupils give within your subject that is often ‘half-way’ there. Then explain how you would re-format this.
