Assessment Criteria 

The following assessment criteria are a focus for assessment and reporting in all courses based on the English Course Framework.  Criteria are the essential qualities which teachers look for in student work. Over a unit, these criteria must be used by teachers to assess students’ performance, however not all of them need to be used on each task.  Assessment criteria are to be used holistically on a given task and in determining the unit grade.Students will be assessed on the degree to which they demonstrate:

an ability to respond critically to texts and logically justify viewpoint an ability to evaluate and synthesise material to make meaning imagination and originality competent and effective use of language for a range of purposes and audiences control of appropriate medium.

Moderation: To ensure consistency, assessment items are moderated. Moderation in English follows this process:

Class teacher marks all papers A sample (between 25 % and 100% of the class depending on the task and/or unit) is marked

by another senior teacher within the department.

Oral presentations:

Special Conditions: On the first day of presentations, all students are to supply their class teacher with the 100 words speaking notes for the speech. These notes will be held by the teacher and returned to the student on the day of their speech. Failure to hand in notes will result in the application of penalties as per late submission of assignments. In addition, failure to present on the due date without due reason (eg. medical certificate) will also incur late submission (or additional late submission) penalties.

English Department Drafting Policy.

Purpose of drafting:The purpose of submitting a draft to your English classroom teacher is twofold:

1. to ensure that you are addressing the requirements of the assessment task question, and2. to receive suggestions as to how to improve your task response.

It should be noted that the purpose of drafting is not to edit your work or to give you an indication of any grade the work may achieve.Submission of Draft Procedure:One draft will be looked at by your classroom teacher and not by any other members of the English Department. Your draft should consist of either:

1. your essay plan, or2. an introduction plus dot point summary of your body paragraphs.

The English Department will not accept completed work as drafts.Your draft needs to be submitted to your English classroom teacher for comment 5 or more days before the due date of the assessment task.What you can expect for feedback:Your teacher will return your draft to you within 2 school days of receiving the draft.He/she will make either written or spoken comment on:

1. whether your task response addresses the task question2. a maximum of 3 areas in your response that need to be developed.

Your teacher may also offer general verbal comment on the technical aspect of your writing eg. paragraph or sentence structure, language, spelling or punctuation.Your role in the drafting process:The suggestions made to you by your classroom teacher are for your consideration and are not mandatory for inclusion. Submission of a draft for comment does not guarantee an improved mark.It is recommended that students closely edit their own work before submission of assignments. Peer reading of written assessment and performance before peers for oral assessment are effective means of acquiring additional comment on how to improve.Editing by reading work aloud will often highlight poor sentence structure, incorrect or omitted words and incorrect punctuation.NB: These drafting procedures will apply to all prepared assessment tasks in Years 11 & 12 Tertiary English, excepting Writers’ Workshop, and 11 & 12 Accredited English (unless negotiated with classroom teacher).

Late submission:                  If students are absent on the first day of oral presentations or on the day they are due to present they must apply for an extension through the Studies Office, providing documentation as detailed below. For all students it is an expectation that assignment and other assessment tasks must be submitted (even if late) in order to fulfill course requirements. For late work the following policy will apply: ·         1. Except in exceptional circumstances, students must apply for an extension in advance, providing due cause and adequate documentary evidence for late submission. ·         2.a) Calculation of a notional zero in T units is based on items submitted on time or with an approved extension ( ie a genuine score). ·         2.b) A late penalty will apply unless an extension is granted. The penalty for late submission is 5% (of possible mark) per calendar day late (including weekends and public holidays) until the notional zero, calculated in a), is reached. If an item is more than 7 days late, it receives the notional zero. Submission of work on a weekend or public holiday is not acceptable. ·         3. The Principal has the right to exercise discretion in the application of the late penalty in special circumstances with satisfactory documentation. ·         4. It may not be possible to grade or score work submitted after marked work in a unit has been returned to other students. Students should note that failure of computer/printer equipment is not considered due cause for late submission of work without penalty. Internal Moderation:             To ensure consistency, assessment items are moderated. Documentaries and recorded speeches will be group moderated across the 5 Documentary classes
