Session 2

Overview:

This session focuses on practical application. We will revisit key text types with examples of real student work such as social media postings and emails, applying the assessment criteria to evaluate Paper 1 samples from an examiner’s perspective. Participants will collaboratively mark and discuss responses, gaining insight into what examiners look for and how to provide meaningful, targeted feedback to students.

We’ll also consider common challenges in student writing and explore techniques to build stronger skills in content development, text type conventions, and language accuracy. By the end of the session, teachers will feel more confident in both preparing students and assessing their work effectively.
