In term one we completed an assessment that taught learners how to research for useful and reliable information. We are now finishing our second assessment which teaches learners how to analyse people's perspective in order to arrive at a more sound understanding of past events COMMENTS: 2022 Next Steps 1=#N should focus on crafting and refining their abilities to communicate information. The best way to do this is having ample time available for feedback on their assessments. Also, I would encourage them to share their work with other teachers and anyone willing to read it so that they know if their work is understandable to a wide audience. 2=#N should focus on consistency in the classroom. If they can be on time more often and attend every single class then their work will improve greatly. 3=#N should focus on participation in the classroom. They must put themselves outside of their comfort zone and engage with all of our activities. Sometimes they may not want to but this is not an adequate excuse to jeopardise their learning. 4=#N Needs to work on being a consistently hard worker. #N definitely has the ability academically, they just need to work on being a consistent worker who works to a high standard at all times. Let's get it #N. 5=#N definitely has the ability, #N just needs the confidence and belief that they can be a better contributor to class by being a more assertive voice. If #N learns to do this #e will nurture some much valued leadership qualities. Let's get it #N. COMMENTS: 2022 Progress Comments 1=#N has #CompletionStatus their first assessment about research skills. They are working #WorkingStatus on their second assessment about perspectives. Their lateness and attendance is #lateness. With our activities in class and our content they #Engagement. Our class is highly social and often requires group discussions and collaborate work which #N #GroupWork. Generally in class I would say that their attitude is #Attitude. COMMENTS: Comments on work 1=#N has produced some fantastic project work throughout the year. I was particularly pleased with #N's work on the #Projects. 2=I have been disappointed with #N's lack of project work this year. I hope that #e will successfully complete #s project on the Berlin Wall. 3=#N was fantastic during a recent debate the class completed on the dropping of the Atomic Bomb. 4=#N is often too keen to finish first; this leads to careless mistakes that #N could easily avoid. 5=#N will often chat during lessons and complete the work to a minimal standard. #E will often say "but I have done the work" which is true; although, it is beneath the standard that I expect from #N. 6=#N produces consistently outstanding classwork. I am so pleased with #N's effort in lessons. 7=#N is good at debating and answering questions verbally; #e needs to show more evidence of this in #h written work. 8=#N needs to try too contribute #h good ideas to class discussion. 9=#N must focus, but most importantly, they must deal with their attendance issues. COMMENTS: Group work 1=During group work, #N helps others in a very friendly way and makes a brilliant leader in group work. 2=#N must be sure to be listening when instructions are given out. The only reason I that #e may not be listening is because #e is either talking about the work, completing a previous task or helping someone else. While I do not wish to discourage #m from doing this, #e just needs to be a little more aware. 3=#N must realise that group work is not an opportunity for #m to chat. 4=#N's contribution, following group work, to our Atomic Bomb debate was fantastic. I was so impressed by #N ability to argue and justify their opinion in the debate. I would encourage #N to use the same skills in #h written work. 5=#N must ensure that #e is fully focused in lessons 6=#N often plays a key role during group work and contributes well to class discussions. COMMENTS: In achieving 1=#N failure to reach their end of term target has been because of their lack of focus in lessons. This is because #N often loses focus in class and does not always put in their best efforts in class. 2=#N is an extremely able and enthusiastic member of the class who takes a keen interest in what is offered in class and appears to enjoy most aspects of the work. 3=#N is extremely hard working and with this has made good progress this year. 4=#N is a superbly hard-working member of the class. #E rarely gives up on a challenge and once #h mind set on completing #h work #h focus is soling on doing #h best. 5=#N needs to consider the importance of events, changes in societies and the impact these have upon the people of the time. 6=#N has not reached their end of year target. #E needs to focus more upon the tasks set and ensure that #e is showing #h true potential at all times. 7=#N is a very likeable student; although, #h work is often hindered by #h chatting. #N is an excellent historian who will regularly complete the work in less detail than #e is truly capable of. COMMENTS: In class 1=In class, #N consistently produces fantastic work. 2=During lessons, #N can be guilty of becoming distracted too much. 3=I feel, despite #N's achievements this year, #e can achieve even higher by focusing more in lessons and listening to the task first time. 4=In lessons, #N works well and consistently produces good work. 5=Although #N works away quietly in class, sometimes they can lose focus and not fully concentrate for the whole lesson. COMMENTS: Intro sentence 1=#N just has not been able to focus in class and while assessments times were set. #N must learn the importance of staying focused in order to finish things to a quality standard. 2=#N have made some progress on their attentiveness and their ability to focus by the end of the term. 3=They have demonstrated writing skills that are appropriate for our learning level. 4=#N writing skills are below what we need for our learning level and this should be a focus for them for the rest of the year, 5=#N managed to finish 3/5 of the terms assessments, which means that they have Achieved their Certificate of Completion for Art of Protest. Well done #N. 6=#N managed to finish 4/5 of the terms assessments, which means that they have Achieved their Certificate of Completion for Art of Protest with Merit. Well done #N. You have had a very successful term in Art of Protest, be proud of your achievement here. 7=#N managed to finish 5/5 of the terms assessments, which means that they have Achieved their Certificate of Completion for Art of Protest with Excellence. Great work #N. You should be proud of your achievements in this course. 8=#N was not able to finish the prescribed number of assessments for a Certificate of Completion. However #N gave it a good effort and did well in class this term. COMMENTS: OLD-Comments on work 1=#N has produced some fantastic project work throughout the year.

COMMENTS: OLD-In achieving 1=In achieving a level 5, #N has shown that #e has good explaining skills. #N must now work to ensure they are analysing texts and sources to consider their reliability. 2=#N failure to reach their end of year target has been because of their lack of focus in lessons. This is because #N is often too busy trying to talk to other members of the class and distracts #s. 3=#N can produce good work. However, #e prevents #s from doing so by being distracted by those around #h. 4=#N often provides a lot of information in #h answers and explanations; although, it is not always relevant to the question. 5=#N must ensure to express #h own opinion in the explanations. This will help #m to progress to level 5. 6=#N is an extremely able and enthusiastic member of the group who takes a keen interest in History and appears to enjoy most aspects of the work. 7=In achieving a level 6, #N has been successful in analysing a range of sources to produce a structure argument. #E is capable of developing #h descriptive writing into a good explanation. To achieve a level 7, #N will need to justify #h own opinion using sources and historical facts to back up #h conclusions. 8=In achieving a level 4, #N has shown a good ability to identify and describe information from sources, events and societies. To achieve a level 5, #N must aim to consider the impact and really develop this in #h explanations. 9=#N is extremely hard working and with this has made good progress this year. 10=#N is a superbly hard-working member of the class. #E rarely gives up on a challenge and once #h mind set on completing #h work #h focus is soling on doing #h best. 11=#N needs to consider the importance of events, changes in societies and the impact these have upon the people of the time. 12=#N has not reached their end of year target. #E needs to focus more upon the tasks set and ensure that #e is showing #h true potential at all times. 13=In achieving a Level 7, #N has worked extremely hard in lessons. #N has an extremely conscientious approach to History and #h work is always a joy to read. Not only is it historically correct, #N has the ability to convince the reader into agreeing with their argument. 14=#N is a very likeable student; although, #h work is often hindered by #h chatting. #N is an excellent historian who will regularly complete the work in less detail than #e is truly capable of. COMMENTS: OLD-In class 1=In class, #N consistently produce fantastic work. 2=During lessons, #N can be guilty of becoming distracted too much. 3=I feel, despite #N's achievements this year, #e can achieve even higher by focusing more in lessons and listening to the task first time. 4=#N was brilliant during our recent class debate over whether America should have dropped the Atomic Bomb. 5=#N must apply #s better in lessons. Regardless of whether #N is taking History or not, we will be working on exam technique skills that will be useful across a variety of subjects. 6=In lessons, #N works well and consistently produces good work. 7=In lessons, #N is a quiet student. I would encourage #m to contribute some of the fantastic ideas #e has written down to class discussions. COMMENTS: OLD-Intro sentence 1=#N enrolled very late in the term with a serious injury that hampered most of their learning this term. 2=#N made steady progress throughout the term and has worked well towards their end of term target. 3=#N is a well mannered and likeable learner who normally works well in class. However, #N's real issue is their lack of attendance. #N cannot possibly improve in this or any other course of study without consistent attendance. 4=#N is a conscientious student who applies #s well to any challenge presented to them. 5=#N is a joy to teach and consistently puts #h best efforts into their classwork. 6=#N is a fantastic student. #E is thoughtful in #h work and provides fantastic answers in #h work. 7=#N works well some lessons; although, the lack of consistency in #h approach to in class work ethic means that #h progress has not been as good as it could have been. 8=#N is an extremely hard working student with an enthusiastic approach to #h studies. 9=#N can be a hard working member of the class and at times contribute some superb answers. #E does, however, tend to rush at #h work, resulting in careless mistakes.
