Formative assessment and feedback (S6)

To challenge and extend the
pupils my questions are: S1b,
S6b
What techniques and
strategies am I using to assess
the learning? (S6b)
How and when we I give
oral/written feedback to the
pupil against the success
criteria so that they can
respond? (S6d, S2a)

What do you think we will need to do in the next lesson?

What skills do we need to apply?
What else could we add to make our presentation more interesting
and informative?
Discussion and answers given during teaching input and questioning.
Confidence and competence using software when working
independently.
Oral feedback given during whole class discussion, when taking
feedback from questions and when children are demonstrating skills to
the whole class.
Written feedback will be given by reviewing presentations from shared
drive and leaving comments for the children to read at the start of the
next lesson (allow time to read and edit title slide accordingly)

Teaching and learning sequence: How will I teach this lesson? What will I do? The guide to my
lesson (S6a, S4 and S7)
