Cycle
A cycle shows a process that comes back to where it started, each stage on a loop with arrows round it.
The real slide Chalk makes, in the Classroom look. Every word is written for your lesson when you use it.
How to run it
- Build it one stage at a time, following the arrows round.
- In the pupils' version, the stages' descriptions are left to fill.
- Ask what would happen if one stage stopped.
Why it works
A loop shows there is no first or last step, which a numbered list hides. It belongs with sequence: order, not cause.
