16. The Day of a Thousand Post-its! • Print out, number and chop up all the POS statements for each subject • Decide which subjects were going to be our lead subject for each topic • Put the POS statements in to topic groups e.g The Human body, The Ancient Greeks • Think of inspiring ways to study these topics • Decide which POS statements would be covered in each topic, taking into account progression and coverage

17. And then Mr Gove changed his mind……
