I’m a great believer in passing-on information about strategies that actually work: things that we, as teachers, can actually deploy in the classroom right away. The Metacognition Cycle is one such thing. Great for project work, or for transforming any task we set in-class: the Metacognition Cycle can be used effectively to draw out extra richness and depth from any content our students are required to understand. So, what are the stages of the cycle, and how does each stage work?
