Personal Recollections Assessment Feedback
- Read through my written feedback carefully.
- Look at your mark and read through the ticked criteria to see what you did well and what you need to work on.
- On the whole, your presentation and ideas were good, but your poor punctuation, spelling and grammar let you down. This is why I put such a strong emphasis on checking back over and proofreading your work.
- Fill out your Profile Tracking Sheet that Mr Pratley will give out with your assessment.
- Put this in your (clearfile) Profile Folder that will be kept in the class, for both you and Mr Pratley to refer back to.
A Guide to Mrs Thomsen's Feedback:
- An underline or circle means you have made a spelling/ word choice error. Create a new "Correct Me" page in your notes and copy/ learn all words. Copy and paste in this feedback, highlighting which YOU need to work on.
- A homophone is a word that SOUNDS the same, but is SPELT DIFFERENTLY. Many of you need to work on this.
- Run- on sentences - means that your sentences are way too long and need to be broken up with a comma/ and/ or a full stop.
- Punctuation; especially around speech marks and apostrophes.
- Word choice - picking the wrong word for the context.
- Ideas - often too simple or repetitive, add more depth and detail through better vocabulary and descriptive language.
- Watch your use of tense - be consistent, if it has happened = past tense, happening now = present tense, will happen = future tense
- Connecting words missing in your sentences - and, on the, of, off, to at, so, but etc
- Your writing is too casual - more like a conversation than a written task. Don't use abbreviations like; OMG, u or numbers instead of words. 1-10 = written out as a word, 10+ you can write as a number.
