Feedforward task :
1 . The WWW and EBI comments above have a number next to them . On your work , if there is a tick next to a number this is a WWW comment . If there is a # next to a number , this refers to an EBI comment . Look at your work and the associated numbers . Interpret what you did / didn ’ t do well . Your grade will be a number in a circle on your work . If you have a * somewhere on your work this is an excellent exemplar aspect / paragraph which I would like you to share with the class .
2 . Annotate the example below in one colour to show what this student did well , and another colour to highlight what could have been done even better . What grade do you think this piece of work achieved ? Remember to look back at your task instructions and marking criteria to help you .
3 . If you had to do this task again , what would you do differently ? How would you organise yourself and structure your time ?
