Opportunities for Assessment:

Formative & summative

Formative

Recap of the events in Act Three Scene One – this allows the students to remember what happens in Act Three Scene One so they can write accurately in their assessment

Order of events – a worksheet is provided so that they can order the events which will allow them to focus on a few events in their newspaper article

PALS – students will be taught PALS, which focuses on their writing and the different things they have to think about when writing their newspaper article

Sample of opening paragraph – ask students what is good about this paragraph. Why does it adhere to the PALS conventions.

Homework analysis – students should have brought in their newspaper articles and they have to answer the questions that are posed. This will allow them to think how to lay out the article, as well as the writing style that is adopted.

Cognitive challenges:

Desirable difficulties for all abilities; how will students progress?

Analysis of articles – as the teacher has gone through PALS, this should be easier for the students to analyse, and the questions will help scaffold for the students.

EBT strategies:

e.g. APK, reciprocal teaching, collaborative learning, advance & visual organisers, similarities and differences, goals, repetition and practice, meta-cognition, feedback, cognitive challenge, subject knowledge, summaries and note-taking

APK – students will use their prior knowledge to think about Act Three Scene One

Collaborative learning – students will be in pairs when analysing their articles, and the order of events in Act Three Scene One
