Do Now! 📖⏰
At The John Roan School, we are committed to ensuring that every student not only enjoys their learning but also remembers and understands it deeply over time.
Every lesson begins with a Do Now. A do now is a short, seven-minute recall activity completed in silence. This quick quiz helps students retrieve knowledge from previous lessons, earlier topics, and even work from the start of the year.
Regular retrieval practice strengthens long-term memory, meaning students forget less and feel more confident when revising for assessments. During this time, teachers circulate to check understanding and identify any gaps that may need re-teaching. Answers are reviewed immediately, and students self-mark in green pen, ensuring instant feedback and reflection.
