Independence and Success Criteria

Straight forward(-ish) task design a poster to go in a leaflet for parents. “Top Tips for ESafety”

Planning/scoping on paper is good but some kids prefer to design directly onto the machine.  I reckon there are 4 things to go in a poster like this:

  • Slogan (or title)
  • Layout
  • Image
  • Top Tips (4-6?)

We know it would be quicker to get the Top Tips down first but could a students produce a good poster having thought up the top tips at the end of the process? Probably yes.

So how can you give students the independence to go it alone but not turn out with something of poor quality (or unfinished) at the end?  Take a step back. let them design their success criteria (a peer assessment sheet) and let them go?

My thought for today
