As students respond, have them develop tables or charts of the information to use as reference. Assessment can be based on oral and written analyses and on the ways in which students incorporate their own ideas and others' suggestions in their revisions. Prompt students to use a variety of ways to assess their own work and to obtain feedback from classmates and others. For example, require that each major assignment or presentation be accompanied by evidence that all students obtained feedback from at least two sources before preparing their final work. Develop and use a class checklist for spelling, mechanics, usage, syntax, and format conventions.
Students can use the checklist for self- and peer analysis.
Ask them to include a copy of the checklist with all assignments. Copyright 1996 . All Rights Reserved. BC MOE Curriculum Branch .
