What is Assessed
At the start of the learning journey share with pupils the assessment criteria as well as the expectations of the exam. It is important that pupils have a full and detailed understanding of what is expected of them and how they need to approach the exam. This is an excellent assessment for learning strategy and it enables the teacher to make expectations clear.
In addition, the unit aims to also demonstrate how you can use extracts from the novel your group is studying to practise some of the questions that they will need to face in the exam. It is sensible to expose pupils to these exam type questions and comprehensions throughout the year rather than just as a single exercise before the exam.
