The Retrieval Starter builds a ready "Do Now" of spaced-retrieval questions — deliberately mixing last lesson, last week, last term and last year — with answers, following Rosenshine.
✨ Uses 1 AI generation per run
Step by step
- Type the current topic and, optionally, the subject.
- Pick the grade / Key Stage.
- Press ✨ Generate — you get 8–12 short recall questions tagged by how far back they reach, plus a stretch question and answers.
- Print the question side for pupils; keep the answers for quick marking.
Tips
- 💡 Use the notes box to weight it, e.g. "more from last term's energy unit".
- 💡 Project it as pupils arrive — the "recall" tags help you talk about why spacing helps memory.
Example
Science, "Forces and motion", Year 8 → recap questions spanning today's lesson back to last year's particle model.
