TE10503 Teaching Writing Skills
Last week, we were taught to assess the students' writing. How do we do that? In what way can we assess the papers without demotivating them? Should we praise them or should we follow the marking guideline strictly? Is there any right or wrong way to assess the papers?
These are some of the questions that we, as the future teachers would ask to others and even to ourselves the first time we were being exposed to this. So in order to guide us in assessing and responding, Ms. Yoon has distributed a marking scheme that has been adapted from the MUET scoring scheme for writing.
Next we were separated into a few groups. My group had to respond and assess the paper that I've posted in my previous post. It's quite challenging because the student seems to have a lot to say, and it shows that he or she knows how and when to use a certain vocabulary. However this student seems to have a problem in arranging the words in a sentence and the writing is lacking in the usage of connectors. So based on the marking scheme and on our personal motive as well that we were agreed to not let this student fails, so we gave him 10 out of 20 :)
