This is a user-friendly mark book made in Excel. It automatically works out the student’s overall term grade based on work they have submitted, as both a percentage as well as a grade. It provides students with the ability to see what grade they are currently working at based on work they have submitted so far in the term - they can see if they are on track for, or how far off they are from, an A or B for example. By simply inputting the “%” symbol in the column headings, the grade for an assignment will be automatically included in working out the overall term grade. Grade boundaries can be customized easily, and the mark book will update automatically. You won’t have to calculate grades or percentages again. If students haven’t submitted work, or were absent, a simple code such as “x” or “as” can be entered into the cell which will then automatically become highlighted in a certain colour. Students can see the result for each peace of work they have done as a percentage. The spreadsheet can easily be uploaded to Google sheets also.

I used this for a high-ability year 11 IGCSE class. I would also recommend downloading the George Guidall audiobook as it greatly helps students to understand the novel.

This is a presentation that covers several lessons on Ping’s poem. It includes the context of the Syrian refugee crisis. I used this with year 10 students in the IGCSE World Literature course (Critical Essay Coursework).
