Moderation • All assessed work must be kept for moderation. • I will have a box that your work will be placed in for safe keeping at the end of each assessment task. • I will also look after the students folders so that their assignments won’t be lost as most will have to go down for moderation. • Moderation is in Term 4.
YEAR 12 HISTORY (Coping with it and doing well) • Be Organised • Folders & dividers • Lever arch = Storage & completed tasks • 4 ring – Current work • Plastic pockets • Reinforced writing paper • Keep notes & handouts together
Staying in control • Revise EACH day’s work, each evening • This serves several purposes • consolidates learning • Allows student to make a note to check with the teacher if something isn’t clear • Make sure folders are organised
Be in charge of learning The responsibility to do the work is the student’s. There is always some work they should be doing! Reading Learning Watching Listening Writing Talking
