WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER.
For NQT’s and anyone who wants to make their marking totally easy, focused, productive and user- friendly for both themselves and their students. Say goodbye to arduous pointless marking.
This resource contains 15 very detailed breakdowns of the requirements at each level for EACH of the individual assessment objectives for both paper 1 and paper 2 of the 2016 AQA GCSE English Language course.
These have been carefully designed so that you can just highlight students’ levels rather than laboriously annotate work thereby cutting down on both marking time, and stress.
The marking sheets can also be used for very productive self or peer assessment by students.
I have had excellent feedback from those who have used these resources thus far.
Please visit my TES shop to browse a range of resources for the new AQA GCSE English Language course.
Contents: complete separate student- friendly marking sheets for each learning objective;
PAPER 1 (Writer’s viewpoints and perspectives)
