Last week our E26 / Year 8 Explorer Spanish students were introduced to the “running text” protocol, whereby students work in groups to recall and recreate a text (differentiated by ability), sending a “runner” to study the original and then report back to their group as to what they can retain. Runners variously have 30, 45, 60 and 90 seconds to memorise as much as possible – a great exercise to practise spontaneous recall and retention!
