[English] Internal Reportingof Unit 3

[Julie Thomas]

Hi Max,

We do provide internal reports for Unit 3. We give S or N for outcomes,
with an S or N overall; no grades (letter or number) are given until after
SACs have been assessed and moderated. These grades do not appear on
reports, but are given to kids on a feedback sheet attached to their work.
Currently, we use the templates which appear in Insight's "English for
Year 12, in conjunction with the descriptors from the VCAA English
assessment handbook (and hard work we're finding it, too! Would love the
opportunity to talk more about that wretched Creating & Responding task
and what is required of the kids; will save that for the ning, but
probably won't get there until the hols...too busy until then...like
everyone else!)

We give the kids these sheets with both a numerical result and a letter
grade, as well as feedback in the form of comments.

The S or N on the report is based on students' satisfactory completion of
all the required coursework leading up to the relevant SAC.

Hope this is of some use.
