Opening Minds at Chiswick Community School

Here is More about using Wordle

Thought it would be a nice starter for students to make one of these about themselves and add them to their blog. They can also print a copy out for display.

I have created a page called creation for all the resources for this and they will be added as they are made. Currently the schem of work, assessment outline and home learning sheets are available to download from there.

All schemes of work must also have a complete Home Learning sheet and a completed front cover

The idea is that we do continuous assessment rather than just asessing one thing at the end of a unit. This means that when we are planning we must identify several things which will be assessed. As we are assessing the competencies those things identified must be the skills rather than the unit content. For example, we would assess the contributions to group work, rather than their ability to describe a creation story.

Below you can download an example for the creation story (which is actually not that great and will be changed – but should give you the general idea) and also a blank one which you can use when doing your planning. Students will fill these in as they go along and make a final comment at the end. Teachers will only have to tick boxes and make a comment with targets once all the work has been completed.
