<div>Hi Jenny</div>
<div><font size="2" face="tahoma">I would be happy to join the discussion. I am in my first year as Head of English and am interested in the same ideas, though I may not have much to offer so far...</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="tahoma">We are going to look at assessment sheets too as we have a million and one different varieties so we want to have some common ground for consistency and also to have the students have some idea of what we require.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="tahoma">Briefly, overview we seem to handle the text analysis side of English quite well and preparing studenyts for writng essays. For us this year, we are concentrating more on writing, creatively I suppose as looking at our Y12
results the context is the area we atre down.. We use short forms at Y7-10 using extracts from authors as models for their own writing, poetry and prose. This seems to be working quite well. Studnets anecdotal feedback is quite positive.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="tahoma">Does this help? I will check your twitter feed as well</font></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Hi</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I know this list is for VCE but I am hopeful some people may like to share with me off list what goes on in year 7-10 in their schools. I am no going into
my third year as domain leader and I have a real bee in my bonnet. I want to prepare a complete scope and sequence for 7-10 that clearly goves the big picture and determines the common ground we work from at the school level. I am struggling with the best
way to format or lay this out – I have seen a good example from NSW – but that isn’t quite what I need since the underlying core standards are different from the VELS. Would you care to share such a map of what your school is doing?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I am also after examples of assessment sheets – the model we use was originally prepared for VELS recording and blending this with grading. Having used
it for a number of years we are finding it is not a useful tool for students or their parents for lots of reasons I do not wish to into. I know there is no perfect beast for this – but if you are prepared to share what your school does I would greatly appreciate
it. I am genuinely interested in those of you using rubrics – what do you have one them – how do you ‘score’ them. There are I know thousands of examples online but most seem linked to everyone else’s curriculum. Finding those that specifically identify objectives
based on VELS PP’s is something I have not succeeded at when it comes to seeing what others do. Any advice/example would be appreciated.
