In terms of the English discipline of the Australian Curriculum, NAPLAN aims to assess reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar. The results are measured at a student level against an assessment scale in each of the areas tested (See assessment scale below). With these results, students, parents, teachers, schools Government authorities and the wider community are giving point-in-time information towards the tested areas, and can use this information for future learning (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, 2019). ]]> 2019-09-26 01:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389812821 leah_r_ricci https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389812988 A writing portfolio provides a form of assessment in which many different formats of student’s work can be collected for observation and judgement purposes (Ljungdahl, 2010). These tangible illustrations of work can be linked to outcomes, encourage student-teacher collaboration, support differentiated learning and assist in accountability by all parties (Brady & Kennedy, 2015). Moreover, it provides the student, educator and other stakeholders the ability to monitor progress overtime and reflect upon the learning process. ]]> 2019-09-26 01:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389812988 leah_r_ricci https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389813073 This form of assessment is developed by the educator as a way to have students read, plan, write and edit a text. It is used as a diagnostic tool, allowing an educator to focus on outcomes and assist students to identify areas to target in their learning (Brady and Kennedy, 2015) Specifically, students would look to writing in different genres, show understanding of stories, tables, instructions, reports and other kinds of writing, and identify correct spelling, punctuation and grammar whilst in test conditions (Ljungdahl, 2010).]]> 2019-09-26 01:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389813073 leah_r_ricci https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389813372 ACELY1701 -  Identify and explain characteristic text structures and language features used in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to meet the purpose of the text (ACARA, 2018). ]]> 2019-09-26 01:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389813372 leah_r_ricci https://padlet.com/leah_r_ricci/7w3so7xsqpq1/wish/389813437 ACELY1704 - Plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive print and multimodal texts, choosing text structures, language features, images and sound appropriate to purpose and audience (ACARA, 2018).
