Pointers for the reading assessment next week

Hello all,


I was impressed with your input over the last few weeks, verbally and in your written analysis, so well done to all of you in attendance over those preparatory sessions.


So, some FAQ...


Q. Can I use all of the materials we have used over the last three weeks?


A. Yes


Q. Even the sample answers you gave out and all the amazing helpnotes you lovingly prepared?


A. Yes!


Q. How does the assessment work?


A. I have set aside three weeks for each reading assessment (there are two to do before the Christmas break). This is so nobody feels rushed and has ample time to give their best work in. The sessions will be done in silence and I will mark what you have done after each class. This feedback will be made available to you the following week on a one to one basis.


Q. What happens if I don't get through the two assessments by the time we break for the Christmas vacation?


A. There will be time in the catch up week (in January) for you to complete any work not already passed for me.


Q. Am I right in saying that question 1 is where I provide a summary of the main points in my own words, no quotes, but questions, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 require supporting evidence from the article, which means I need to quote?


A. Absolutely correct.
