In brief, this resource is a full assessment system that can be used both in English and other subjects (literacy across the curriculum) in order to assess the writing grades of students and to help them to diagnose their own areas for development, as well as setting targets for improving writing skills. This is not available anywhere else other than on the TES
This system is all my own work and I have created the grade descriptors from scratch, using:
The GCSE descriptors or writing from AQA and Edexcel combined – therefore, they are as generic as they can be and are not board specific.
My own extensive experience of English teaching and exam marking.
Basically, I have broken down each grade from 1-9 and matched them to the skills that pupils should need in order to achieve the grade (as a best fit). This has been done by calculating how old GCSE grades (A*-G) correlate against 1-9 and benchmarking a low C at the Grade 4. Obviously, there will be variation of grades at the end of the GCSE year for year 11, as they are set on a national curve BUT these resources lay the foundations for assessment in KS3 and to ensure that teachers within a school or department can benchmark and describe what they expect each grade to look like and what students need to be able to do to hit a grade in writing. Therefore offering complete consistency and clarity for students and teachers within a school.
The resource includes:
Grade descriptors for writing for 1-9
9 assessment sheets for each grade 1-9 for both AO4 and AO5
9 assessment sheets for each grade 1-9 for punctuation only, so that teachers can break down the focus if they want to
A training PowerPoint for all staff that allows the lead to deliver a fully interactive session
All resources for that session
A training PowerPoint for the English dept. that allows the lead to deliver a full explanation of how to use the materials
All resources for that session
This resource is all ready for you to start working with as soon as you download it.
