This is a simple, editable DAFOREST techniques grid suitable for both KS3 and KS4 use. Whilst a column has been left blank for students to engage in creating their own examples of each DAFOREST technique (a great starter or plenary), this can be edited out in order to make this a reference-based resource. This is also a great resource to add to any home/remote learning packs as it can easily be pasted into a PowerPoint or word document to help students utilise DAFOREST techniques in their writing. I hope it helps and please feel free to feedback!
