Strategy Used / Strategaeth a Ddefnyddiwyd

Set achievement criteria with the children.

Description of Activity / Disgrifiad o'r Weithgaredd

• First, a class discussion on the subject of "Instructions"
• We looked at examples of magazines
• We noted the appropriate language and wrote it on the white board.
• Together we compiled the Marking Ladders

Evaluation / Gwerthusiad

• Because the children spent so much time discussing this at the start, and played a part in determining the achievement criteria (their choice), every child was clearly focussed.
• Each child worked with a partner, one acting as scribe whilst the other ensured the achievement criteria was included.
• They worked exceptionally well, creating quality pieces of work. They were proud of their efforts.
• I have one concern – are the more "able" children attaining their full potential? This needs to be ensured, and perhaps needs to be considered more fully when preparing the task.
