Do not invent school assessment criteria or lesson sequences.

Turn a tally into a question.

Count the fictional bird tallies, then draw a bar chart using one square for two birds. Use the chart to explain a pattern before planning a safe survey. For this page’s task, prepare the material around reading a simple classroom energy-use chart.

Open the worksheet prompt

Questions about using PLAI™ at Binh Duong International School

What should I focus on when reading a simple classroom energy-use chart?
Keep the focus on helping learners use a comparison in the data to justify a practical suggestion. Ask for an explanation you can inspect, rather than accepting a completed answer as evidence of understanding.
What should I provide for this primary task?
Bring the topic, current learning objective, year group and material you are permitted to use. For reading a simple classroom energy-use chart, specify any criteria and support needs without sharing names or identifiable learner records.
How can I check understanding after adding support?
Offer a fresh question about reading a simple classroom energy-use chart without the response frame. Check whether learners can use a comparison in the data to justify a practical suggestion, using your own confirmed criteria.
