Teacher Learning Community - Peer Assessment

What AiFL technique was used (please give details of lesson):

 

PowerPoint Peer Assessment

 

Pupils when finished their slideshow presentation, rather than waste a whole period everyone going up to present to the class, one pupil stays at their PC to be a presenter, and another becomes a judge, and the judges move around the room grading presentations on the success criteria given to them at the start of the lesson.

 

 

Class I used the technique with (please give details of number of pupils, attainment level, behaviour etc):

 

20 S3 pupils who had worked in pairs to create a CityBreak Challenge powerpoint on different Global Cities

 

Pupils are very challenging. Some were not on task and had to be verbally warned.

 

Another technique we have used which may be of some use.

 

How did this benefit the pupils:

 

Pupils have a chance to see the criteria needed for a good piece of work.

 

Pupils did like the chance to see everyone’s work and to physically move around the room. The presenters also had to decide what to edit out of their shortened presentation.

 

 

How did this benefit me:

 

 

It also means that this activity can be replicated often without losing periods to actual group presentations, which can take more than one period and sometimes switch off the audience.

 

 

 

 

Further comments: (you may include any negative feedback or difficulties you encountered)

 

There were still the odd couple of pupils who do not buy into the activity, but these individuals never seem to be satisfied no matter what the task is!
