Activity 1 Assessing students’ writing
Objectives: to uncover current practices of assessing students’ writing; to raise awareness of assessment criteria; to develop unified criteria for assessing writing Time: 30 min Materials: handout 3 from the previous session (Teaching Writing 2) ►Procedure: ☺☺☺ (10 min) In groups, tell participants that they will have to read and mark student B’s writing from the previous session (handout 3of the previous session) the way they would normally do this at their workplace (e.g. 0-5). ☺ (5 min) Collect the marks that the groups put on the board. Ask a representative from each group to explain how they assessed the sample and why they deducted certain marks. ☺ (5 min) Summarise the discussion and say that when participants were explaining their marks they were commenting on grammar (accuracy), organisation, vocabulary range, task fulfillment and some other criteria. Write these on the board. Tell participants that these are called Assessment Criteria and that not only teachers should be guided by them but students should also know them well before they start writing. Establish that having assessment criteria makes it easier for a teacher to mark students’ writing and makes assessment clear and transparent to students. Make a transition to the next activity by saying that now you will talk about how helpful these criteria can be for students. Activity 2 Giving feedback Objective: to raise participants’ awareness of the importance of giving feedback Time: 20 min Materials: handouts ►Procedure: ☺ (10 min) Ask participants ~ Have you heard of the word ‘feedback’? ~ What do you associate with feedback? Establish that feedback is constructive comments that one person receives from another (in our context it is mainly a student getting feedback from a teacher) and which usually serve as an action plan for improvement, that is why very often the word feedback comes with the word constructive and positive. Ask participants: ~ Do you simply mark or provide feedback on your students’ writing? ~ What do you think would be more helpful for students? ~ How often do you give positive (e.g. That’s an excellent idea!) and constructive (That’s a good argument but it needs a better support here. Why don’t you build on it? ) comments? ☺☺☺ (10 min) Now ask participants in their groups to look at their assessment and turn their comments into action points and add some positive comments. Invite a representative from each group to join a neighbouring group with the feedback that they produced. Allow some time for sharing. Invite comments from groups. Establish that feedback, if given correctly, motivates students and directs them in their writing. Download 0.49 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
