A really good peer assessment starter/plenary task to complete with KS3 students, use the sheet to help students peer assess each other work. The idea is that students leave the sheet on the desk next to their work, all students then get up and aim to evaluate at least five students work. For each piece of work that they look at they write a positive comment (WWW) and an area for improvement (EBI) on the worksheet. You may find it useful to give students some examples of what they could write. At the end of the task students go back to their work, read the comments that others have left for them and set themselves a personal target for the lesson.

I created this crib sheet, based on an example of one that I had seen on the internet. Crib sheets are fab for giving whole class feedback and a quick marking method. Fill in each section for the appropriate class, I like to personalise mine by adding students names. It can also work really well as a reward/competition strategy, as students are usually eager to appear in the WWW area.
