Y8 Baseline Assessment Edexcel style - could be used for G&T Y7

(0)
HAVE AMENDED THE PPT for one error - please redownload if already purchased This can be used for any year group really but I pitched it at year 8s some of whom will be familiar with these topics from the previous year. This gauges their natural ability and lets them have a go at edexcel style exam questions. Test takes maybe 45 minutes or a whole lesson. The next lesson use the PPT to help them peer or self mark their assessment which is great as there is already some peer assessment in their books, you do not have to extensively mark and also you have some data for them. I am including the publisher version too so you can change it if need be.

HAVE AMENDED THE PPT for one error - please redownload if already purchased This is a great way to see where the new Y7s are at, this test takes maybe 30-45 minutes (depends) The next lesson you can use the powepoint to get the students to mark their own assessments. This way there is already some peer marking in the book, there is data for them already and you do not need to extensively mark. Including the publisher version of the assessment so you can change things if need be.

This is a great lesson for Year 7s or Year 8s. This uses a video on how castles were defended from Youtube (a copy of it is in this bundle or message me if you need a copy). By the end of the lessons students should be able to describe and explain key features of medieval castles which were used to defend it and to explain how effective these were in keeping attackers at bay.
