Assessment:
The teacher goes through the work of the students and by the next class, she will give valuable and overall feedback for the work of each student as follows:
- Very well-written
- Well-organized and presented. But there are some spelling mistakes
- Well done but punctuation should be taken care of
- Good attempt but certain sentences can be rewritten to make the writing effective
The teacher will then select well-written and exceptional work which will be made available on the LMS platform to encourage students to write better.
Differentiation: The students can also be encouraged to write on any topic by giving them magazines and to select one of the pictures about which they can write using their imagination. They can also be encouraged to write stories about their language, culture, religion etc.,
