The Sec 1s did not have a common test in Term 1 because they have not learnt much other than script writing. The graded scripts that they have written in groups will contribute to their summative assessment. There are both formative and summative assessments. For formative assessment, there are homework, group work and also worksheets that they do in class. As mentioned in my earlier post, they will be tested on unseen prose for MYE so I am trying to get them to use PEE in their answers.
The Sec 2s and 4s had common tests last term. One Sec 2 teacher gave an Express class homework and she had so much trouble collecting homework from the students. Many of the students gave excuses such as they did not bring or did not do.
The students only have 1 hour of Literature a week so I can't really go in depth. I gave the Sec 1s a prose with a few questions to read and do as holiday homework so that I can save some time in class. The questions also served as a form of formative assessment to check if the students have read and understood the story.
"The Sec 1s did not have a common test in Term 1 because they have not learnt much other than script writing." - why learn script writing when they have an unseen for MYE?
