Lesson 3 Get it Right!

Learning Intention

I can use peer assessment to improve my work and the work of others

Key Competency

Participating and contributing

Success Criteria

I have made improvements to my 'If' poem after considering peer feedback

I have suggested at least 3 improvement to other learners' 'If' poems

• In groups of 3, share your poems.
• Work together to make them as grammatically accurate as possible (unless you are trying to create a 'special effect' with the language)
• If you are struggling with the [if....would...] part, then ask Mrs Abena for a worksheet (Essential Grammar in Use Intermediate, Murphy, Unit 35)
• When you finish editing your poem, proofread it carefully. Check for:

1. 'I' when used to mean 'me' should always be capital
2. Don't put a comma at the end of a line unless you need one
3. Check your capital letters for proper nouns; don't use them randomly

• When you have done the best you can, show it to Mrs Abena
• Write it on coloured paper and illustrate for display
