This is your opportunity to think about what happened and why (see Teaching Inquiry on page 35 of the Curriculum) and to make comments about what needs to be covered in your next unit of work. You should be aware
of individual students (or groups), as it is rare that a whole class with need the exact same next steps. Your comments should be a reflection of the feed forward you give students.
