4. Getting ready for B2 First Writing Part 2
Overall comment….
Your answer is just above a passmark. Make
sure you work on your language accuracy and
organisation. You communicate a lot in terms
of content and ideas, so if you work on your
language accuracy and punctuation, I am
positive you will improve your overall grades
in this paper. Keep up the good work and let
me know if any of my comments are not clear.
Activity 3.3: To share an example of a feedback form and explain how to use it to apply to their work
Show students the feedback form they will receive from you once they have sent you their Part 2 tasks. Tell them this is the same form you showed them the previous class. Eliict from them why you will be focusing on these 4 areas and what they should expect to find under the “Follow up work” column and the “Overall comments” below.
Follow up work: what they need to do to improve in that area. Here you will suggest where students can go to in order to do so.
Overall comments: general comment on the composition as a whole.
N.B: These comments don´t correspond to the question worked with in class. The aim is to exemplify the kind of comments / follow up work mentioned in the previous slide.
Some of the comments in the follow up work column refer them to the Moodle platform and the Exams lab platfrom. Tell students you will be looking at these Resources in more detail in the next activity.
N.B: In order for you to get more familiar with the assessment scales and what to focus on when marking your students’ work and giving them written feedback, see Cambrdige English assessing writing performance at level B2 pdf doc on the Teachers’ eboard.
