This comes
from Phil Winstanley, KS3 Co-ordinator, Humanities.
To model extended
writing.
WHAT: Using
student answers to model extended writing responses. Students in pairs award
levels to the answers and explain why they have reached their judgments.
WITH: Year 7
students to introduce and develop extended writing.
HOW:
Students have completed a card sort and understand the social and economic
impact of the Railways. I have allowed them to start and begin to develop their
extended writing. The activity is introduced as part of reflection time and
self-assessing the work done so far. Students have a copy of the level
criteria.
IMPACT: It
strengthens students understanding of peer and self-assessment.
Students
enjoy the activity and it improves the quality of student responses.
It
encourages high order questioning – What now needs to be done to achieve Level
6? How should the student continue to develop their response?
