Absent 3rd years: tomorrow's writing assessments!!!

Writing assessments start tomorrow and will continue over 3 whole periods to ensure they are perfect before assessment.

You will be assessed against the following criteria:


English: Creation and Production
Outcome 1 The learner will:

•1 Create and produce detailed written texts by:

•1.1 Selecting significant ideas and content, using a format and structure appropriate to purpose and audience

•1.2 Applying knowledge and understanding of language in terms of language choice and technical accuracy

•1.3 Communicating meaning at first reading


English: LITERACY
Outcome 3 The learner will:

•3 Write detailed technically accurate texts by:

•3.1 Selecting and using appropriate language

•3.2 Organising writing appropriately

•3.3 Using appropriate spelling, grammar and punctuation

During the assessment, you will not be allowed your jotter or full folder. You can, however, have the following things with you:


•Your pink planning sheet


•Character charts


•An A4 sheet of setting descriptions/ openings/other notes

Make sure your planning is completed in detail and that you have everything ready to start your assessment.

If you think you are organised, then why don’t you have a practice run?- start writing. That means that when you sit your assessment, you will know exactly what to do, or what not to do!
