This fits into the assessment schedule in several ways. Firstly, students have to write a critical summary where the feedback informs how they write a final assessed piece of work. Secondly, for their short answer question exam, they have to integrate sources and maintain a strong stance to get the higher marks on the criteria for task fulfillment. Finally, the reading exam requires students to match paraphrases from a text with the original authors within a text.]]> 2019-06-10 12:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366686232 tk153502 https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366686258 My class profile and aims (both lesson and personal)]]> 2019-06-10 12:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366686258 tk153502 https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366686997 Handout - I wrote a summary and critical summary of a text they had already read to facilitate their analysis and as a sample for them to base their own writing upon.]]> 2019-06-10 12:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366686997 tk153502 https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366687007 Powerpoint - I created a short powerpoint to give visual scaffolding of activities to the lesson.]]> 2019-06-10 12:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366687007 tk153502 https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366688654 Post-observation comments from both the observer and me and agreed follow-up actions following discussion]]> 2019-06-10 12:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366688654 tk153502 https://padlet.com/tk153502/rkz1wq1wxmq3/wish/366688691 Feedback aligned with the BALEAP TEAP criteria and running commentary from the observer.
