KS3 Marking Feedback Template

GCSE History Marking Feedback Template (PREVIEW IS ONLY A SECTION)

What is this: a marking template that students/teachers can use to enable high quality feedback.

Printing: print on coloured paper to ensure this is visible for students to look back on as well as any look books done by your school. The colour may already be decided by your school.

Curriculum: this should be used after an end of topic written assessment e.g. a practise exam question. The relevant mark scheme should be inserted in the space on the top half (I could not insert due to copyright restrictions). For KS3 I usually use a simplified version of a mark scheme, ideally one used department-wide.

Delivery:
Step 1 - students complete their assessment, then distribute this sheet and get students to fill in the ‘reflection’ box with a meaningful comment.
Step 2 - teacher marks students work and determines the mark + add comments if desired (ideally tick the literacy target relevant to that student also).
Step 3 -students receive back their assessment and coloured sheet, they then complete the review/improvement lesson, this would go as follows:

a) highlight mark they achieved on the simplified mark scheme and review the summary information for this level.
b) highlight level above in a different colour and review the summary information.
c) compare the levels highlighted and generate three targets for improvement .
d) act upon/review literacy target (underlined required immediate action).
e) fill in ‘next steps’ with what the students will do to improve.
f) complete improvement.

Optionally if you have a lower ability class the highlight and generate targets section could be removed completely and a bank of teacher comments used.
