The framework includes a key word box, command words section, plan section and assessment criteria boxes. The higher ability students would need to come up with their own assessment critiera, however the lower ability students can use the assessment criteria provided. This is suitable for for the new OCR gateway 9-1 specification, IGCSE and many other specifications! The powerpoint presentation shows how you can use these assessments as a peer-assessment or self assessment tool!
