** Please leave a review. Thank you ** What is this resource? This is a simple to use (tried and tested) self and peer pssessment SPAG check using literacy notations. How do I use it? The teacher uses these codes when they mark the pupils’ work. The students then use a green pen and use the teacher’s codes to correct their work before re-drafting their writing (minus the errors). Alternatively, the check sheet can be used as a peer assessment task – again using a green pen - or as a simple self-assessment task after the teacher has marked the pupils’ exercise book. In this instance, the student examines the corrections the teacher has made and amends the SPAG errors (using the codes) in a green pen. **Who is it for? ** Whole School Literacy Curriculum links? Whole School Marking Policies, Literacy Programmes and Literacy Support Sessions Practical Tips? It works well as a 10 min starter - if you’re handing back feedback at the beginning of lesson and want to show progression in practice

A quick and easy way to give VERY SPECIFIC feedback without copious amounts of writing. Simply glue the sheet in under the student’s work. Tick the relevant criteria, set targets quickly and ensure the student has read your marking by getting them respond to in the student response section. This assessment sheet is ideal for marking drafts and final copies of exam preparation essays. It can be used with KS3 and KS4. It corresponds with the FAR marking policy = Feedback - Action -Response. i.e. Stage 1: The teacher gives FEEDBACK using very specific criteria which should be shared with students before the assessment takes place. Stage 2: The teacher uses the criteria to specify which ACTIONS the student needs to take to get to the next grade. Stage 3: The student writes a written RESPONSE to the teacher’s comments about the ACTIONS required to reach the next stage. It’s very useful for showing progress, communicating attainment on HW or timed (in class) essays that form part of exam preparation revision.

Here’s a ppt I put together for teaching the “Connections” essay to Level 1 pupils. Feel free to use :)

What is the purpose of this resource? To enable pupils to immerse themselves confidently in reading by teaching them how to process subject matter as they read and equipping them with the tools to assimilate the text’s content Why would I want to use this resource? To enable pupils to become competent readers that: Engage fully with a text at the word and sentence level and use that information to make sense of the text’s composition and its effect on the reader; Recognise and understand that texts comply with generic structures, and as a result, are created for particular purposes and have identifiable audiences; Appreciate that a reader’s interpretation of a text depends on their life experiences and also any previous reading experiences that they can bring to the table; Comprehend that texts are structured in specific ways to convey meaning, and that over time, regular readers will be able to perceive and predict these generic patterns – even in unfamiliar texts; Understand the importance and impact of textual features such as pictures, font types, layout and the semantic field (i.e. the author’s specific choice of language); Ask questions of all texts before, during and after reading.

What is this resource? Two fully planned lessons that include thinking tasks, starters, lesson resources (e.g. reading, writing and peer assessment tools) and plenaries These two lessons could easily be extended to 3-5 lessons depending on the ability range of the group being taught. Plus, if the teacher includes the creative writing task they want the class to complete at the end of the these lessons, it will result in a week of work. It should be used at the beginning of a learning phase on “Creative Writing” as a recall task or as a developmental task teaching students the key elements of basic “Creative Writing” **Who is it for? ** KS3 and KS4 English What’s included? Thinking tasks Starters Activity Resources Plenaries Curriculum links? English and Literacy Support Lessons (KS3 and KS4) Practical Tips? It is to be used in conjunction with a creative writing task where students are required to write independently after the lessons using the skills that have been covered on these slides.

Good handwriting is important. If teachers cannot read what a student has written in their books or on test papers, they will not be able to mark the pupils’ work accurately. That could mean losing some marks in exams and low self-esteem. Tests are already challenging enough! Plus, if a student’s handwriting is difficult to read, it is tough for teachers to tell if a student is meeting basic literacy criteria. **Who is this resource for? ** Students with poor handwriting **What’s included and why is it useful? ** There are two self assessment (student-focussed) activities that are designed to get students thinking about the impact of their handwriting and there is a practice section that follows on from a ‘tips’ section too.
