A Level History Feedback Sheets AQA

(0)
’When giving feedback to A Level Students studying history it is important to be specific about what the student did well and where they need improvement. Is crucial to point out specific examples and illustrate your points by linking them to the assessment objectives.' It can be difficult to maintain a work life balance when you have a pile of A Level essays to mark. If you like me find yourself annotating work and writing your own mini essay in response to your students work, then the history academy might just have the solution you are looking for. The attached essay and source feedback sheets are designed to help you provide effective next steps feedback and save you time. When you purchase these resources, you will be able to download two feedback mark schemes for Section A and B of the AQA A Level History Syllabus. The first page of both the source and the essay feedback sheets contains a grid which breaks down the assessment objectives for each level. You simply highlight, tick and underline what the student has achieved. By looking at the next level, your students can see what they need to do next in order to improve their work. The second page contains a table with a space for writing a quick summary and then two sections saying ‘areas for praise’ and ‘areas for improvement.’ At the bottom of the page is a section for the students to write their response to your feedback. Both documents have been provided in Word and as a PDF. When completing these sheets, I usually type up my comments or occasionally copy and paste statements into the relevant boxes. I keep a copy saved in the students folder and attach a physical copy to their essay. These feedback sheets have been field tested many times since 2016 and have helped to significantly reduce my workload and many of my colleagues. Take a look at the detailed preview.

This lesson has been written to help students understand some of the key words that we use in history. It has been designed to be a fun an interactive first lesson that will get them sharing and working together, whilst also giving you time to give out the exercise books and organize your seating plans for the class. When you download this free resource you will be able to access a PowerPoint that contains aims, objectives, differentiated outcomes, tasks, photocopy templates and activities. You will also be able to download this and the word search in a PDF format, just in case you do not have access to Microsoft Office. The lesson begins with a white board task on what key words do they already know by jotting down at least five key words they already know. This is then passed around the group so that other students can add to the list. After four rounds, I usually get each group to feedback their results and write the words on the board. I would then give out the word search and give them 5 to 10 minutes to complete the task before asking them to feedback and annotate a copy of the word search either on the IWB or logging into the website and competing the interactive version. Once this task is complete, I then set them the heads and tails activity which gets them to match up the key words with their correct definitions, once again feeding back in the same way. Finally, I would consolidate the lesson by getting them to create a history dictionary of key words in the back of their book, which they can finish off for homework. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Introduction to History Know: What key words do we use in our history lessons? Understand: What these words mean? Evaluate: When we should try to use some of them? WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: some of the key words that we use in history Can You Explain: What these words mean? Can You Evaluate: When we should try to use some of them? If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop. You can also follow ‘The History Academy’ on Twitter, Google Plus, YouTube and Facebook for the latest updates or even to get in touch and chat about how you have used this resource or to ask questions. We aim to produce cheap and affordable resources for the price of a good cup of coffee so that you can spend more time doing the things that you want. This is big resource, which is reflected in the price. All our authors are paid the living wage for their work so when you purchase our resources you are buying into our shared values of fair play and decency.
