Used successfully with my year 11’s during a learning walk focussed on feedback to pupils after their mocks. Outcome considered ‘Excellent’.
Activities ask pupils to ‘Review’, ‘Reflect’ and ‘Repsond’ to exemplar material and their own responses.
The mock Literature question was:
In ‘Scaffolding’, how does the poet present the speaker’s
