I used this as an end of unit assessment and feedback cycle, taking three lessons. Students completed paper (1 lesson) I marked (giving a positive comment and highlighting the AO on the mark scheme that they needed to improve) Students used the feedback sheet task to reflect on quotations, and analyse in detail using the linked quizlet deck (1 lesson) Students looked at model answers and reflected on success criteria on feedback sheet. They then highlighted where they had achieved that success criteria in the same colour coding as on models, and then made improvements to their essays. _ All resources in PDF for easy printing, and Word for editing.

An essay deconstruction sheet with two student-style essays on the following questions for The Duchess of Malfi and Paradise Lost ‘Books 9 and 10’. ‘Sin must bring punishment. Sinners expect it; readers and audiences demand it.’ In the light of this view, discuss ways in which writers portray sin and punishment. ‘Self-determination and independence always lead to tragedy’ In the light of this view, discuss ways in which writers portray self-determination and independence. How to use: As a lesson or homework activity, get students to write an essay with the choice of the two questions above. In the next lesson, students use the deconstruction sheet to self-assess, analyse, and dissect their own work in relation to two student-style timed essays through 4 tasks. This essay was incredibly valuable for my students, and proved a real break through with some of them. Provoked real engagement with the mark scheme and questions, and some good discussion over what made a Level 5 / 6 response. Several students also commented that this was more useful than me marking and assessing their essays- winner! Would also be an excellent activity for new A Level teachers or teachers just starting to teach these texts.
