Running the Activity: Hand out the student worksheet (slide 6) to each student. Purpose: This activity helps improve evaluation skills through providing a structured use of ‘connective’ words and phrases that can be applied to a question. Start the slideshow and show the first slide. Explain to the students the purpose and process of the activity. Preparation: When opening this file, you may be alerted to ‘Enable macros’. Ensure that macros are enabled to allow the quiz to work. Click on each category of connective. Students note down which connectives are to be used in the activity. Slide 4 is pre-prepared with a selection of connective words and phrases matching the categories ‘Cause and Effect, ‘Contrasting’, ‘Qualifying’, ‘Sequencing’, ‘Comparing’ and ‘Illustrating’. The words/phrases in the table can be altered, edited or added to in this table. Note: There is a limit of 8 spaces for category. Each category must have at least one word/phrase included. Slide 5 has a table used for entering questions. Fill this table in with your own questions. You do not need to use all 10 space but any questions not used should be left blank. Slide 6 is a printable ‘Student Worksheet’ that has the connective words/phrases used. This should be edited if the connectives are altered. Print off as many of these sheets as required. Click on ‘Click here to start’. This will take you to the main screen and the first question will appear. Students then need to construct and argument/ sentence/ paragraph using some or all of the connectives. Students can then compare and contrast their answers with other students.

Application: The list of ‘connectives’ above show words and phrases that could be used when constructing evaluative or analytical answers to more complex questions. When constructing your arguments you need to be able to show a balanced analytical approach. These connectives fall in to several categories and it would be good practice to include at least 3 or 4 of these types of connectives within a paragraph (and attempt to use connectives from the different categories).
