Social Sciences - May 25
This year, the faculty has focussed on developing the extended writing skills of year 9 students in order to enable them to be able to express themselves without the need for tight scaffolds. There have been several opportunities this year for year 9 students to use a homework task to develop and plan ideas for a longer piece of written work in the classroom. The feedback given by the teacher and from opportunities to share planning with other students has then enabled our year 9 students to engage with an extended written piece of purple pen to really demonstrate their higher order knowledge and understanding skills in a range of different pieces of work.
