A complete set of ‘Learning Checkpoint’ sheets for GCSE Edexcel English Language and English Literature. Included are templates for every longer response question across Language and Literature. The sheets allow you to set a short task or paragraph response with pre-filled lines for students to write on. Students write in their own graded target. All you need to do is to tick the appropriate box as to whether they met their target and highlight or underline any of the pre-populated targets appropriate for that task or response. You can easily mark a class set of responses in 10 to 20 minutes and students quickly receive appropriate targets/feedback. I use these every other lesson in the run up to mocks or exam season and they are a game changer. Easily adaptable for your own targets, these low stakes templates will reduce your workload.
