I recommend asking your students what they think about different ways of learning. It helps them become more actively engaged and reflective as learners, and can provide you with useful feedback. So, when you try out a new Oracy strategy or game, or P4C, ask your class what they think of it.
I recently asked some pupils what they thought about using whole-class talk strategies in Reading lessons. One quote I really liked was:
“It feels like you're trying to solve something.”
It was good to hear that these pupils value the collaborative talk approach and find it engaging.
