pupils.
Formative assessment and feedback (S6)
To challenge and extend the
pupils my questions are: S1b,
S6b

The HA pupils will have more challenging success criteria which

requires them to write at least 8 sentences, write in paragraphs and
use the and , keys appropriately.

What techniques and

strategies am I using to assess
the learning? (S6b)

I will be able to access pupils ability to access the school blog and
their ability to use basic ICT skills by circulating between computer
stations whilst pupils complete this ICT task. The level of mastery in
completing this digital literacy activity will help inform me of pupils
ability to apply ICT skills they have learnt across the multiple
application programs they have used (e.g. Microsoft word and Purple
mash).

How and when we I give

oral/written feedback to the
pupil against the success
criteria so that they can
respond? (S6d, S2a)

I will provide verbal feedback to pupils responses to the question

what do you remember about The Ancient Greek Day? I will be able
to spot pupils who are struggling with writing about what they enjoyed
about The Ancient Greek day which will allow me to give these pupils
some 1-1 support with this task. I will seek opportunitys to praise
pupils for meeting the success criteria and to pinpoint areas for
further development in future digital literacy tasks.

the things they liked about The Ancient
Greek Day and I will ask some pupils to
share their opinions to help spark ideas
within other class members. I will also
tell the pupils that they are required to
write as much as possible:
