This is a SPaG grid that’s a simple tick sheet that students can glue into their exercise books each term (or half term) to show their progress across the literacy skills. It is designed to be a student self-assessment resource.

The Worksheet contains 2 banks of persuasive skills. Set 1: Basic Techniques for persuading your audience for hitting Grade 4-6 (new GCSE) and Set 2 includes more advanced Techniques for persuading your audience for hitting Grade 4-9 (new GCSE). Useful for independent work/HW tasks for KS3 and KS4.

Suitable for KS3 and KS4. This resource is suitable as a criteria sheet that students can use to achieve their persuasive writing targets. They can keep re-visiting the sheet for HW tasks too throughout the year (if it’s glued into their exercise books).

The activity also deploys FAR marking techniques.

This resource can be used in many ways: plenary, starter, or as a competitive group game. You could also hide the clues around the room. It’s a fun way to learn a lot a techniques in one lesson.

These criteria sheets can be given to students before a task so they know what they’re working towards and then glued in under their HW for the teacher to fill in and comment on. It’s a strategic yet quick and simple way of marking HW The bank includes criteris sheets for: Creative Writing Non Fiction Writing Poetry Analysis Novel Analysis Vocabulary definitions followed by sentence creation
