while C interviews D. In step 2, reverse roles: B interviews A while D interviews C. In step 3,

Classroom activities to promote learning how to learn
This section contains activities offered by Watkins et. al. (2000). The focus is on learning about learning. The purpose is to help pupils explore, reflect on and learn about the processes of learning.
48
The principles about learners and learning which underlie these activities are as follows:
1 An effective learner is a person who has gained an understanding of the processes involved in learning and is able to apply that understanding in learning across a wide range of contexts.
2 Effective learning involves processes of:
making connections about what has been learned in different contexts
reflecting about one’s own learning and learning strategies
exploring how the learning contexts have played a part in making the learning effective
setting further learning goals
engaging with others in learning.
The activities in this section are not, therefore, related to particular subject areas but, rather, to the processes of learning, and of learning in different contexts. The overall aim is to enhance pupil learning across a range of different contexts. The activities are structured to have a sequence and a progression. They have been designed to be pupil and teacher friendly and could be used with secondary or junior pupils, but they would need adaptation for younger learners.
When planning for effective learning, the tasks and processes need to promote:
active learning
collaborative learning
responsibility in learning
learning about learning.
In order to achieve this the activities are carefully structured around stages in the learning cycle.
