Handout/Explanation of the Magenta Principles


How It Works:

Whenever students are presented with a text/information/facts etc they are to use one or more magenta principles...

• reduce
• change
• assemble
• search
• connect
• arrange
• enlarge
• simplift
• classify
• compare and contrast
• deconstruct
• apply
• prioritise
• act it out?

These are fantastic for note taking, revision and gaining an understanding of whatever material you provide the students.

Variations:

• Have explanations of the words next to them?
• Ask students to use dictionaries to find out the definitions?
• Ask students to work on the same text with different principles and see if they pick out the same information?
