<p><strong>Principle Five of Six</strong> for a Motivated Year in the <strong>'Back to School' series:</strong></p><li><ul><li><em>Principle 5: The CI Class Yearbook</em></li></ul><p>This episode builds on the previous principles about effective pairwork and input in 5-minute blocks by taking it further and each student having a notebook where <strong>every student in the class gets a page</strong>. Students write <strong>matching bullet points in pairs</strong>, filling in each person's page gradually throughout the year. Every time we have conversations, discussions and input tasks with PQA it gives us more info to put on their page! A great way to build community, raise feelings of autonomy and competence, and to provide you with a track record of everything you learned about each other all year.</p><p>You'll learn about:📄 Building a class yearbook with a personal page for each student<br>🧩 Add details in matching pairs<br>🤝 Learn about each other, build real connection<br>📈 Supports formative assessment<br>🧠 Boosts autonomy & motivation (hello Köhler + Zeigarnik–Ovsiankina!)<br>📆 Runs all year long</p><p>Whether you’re just heading back to school or already half way through the year, this episode is another step towards a motivated language classroom! 💪🎓</p><p>Don't miss the last of the <strong>six principles</strong> which are on the way next Friday</p></li><li><p><em>6.
