A5 homework feedback form with both general and specific to maths marking conventions. Can be easily modified to any other subject. Students should be asked to reflect on their learning and the feedback they are given in the comments. - Example of how to use the next step questions (NSQ) - 1) Set five differentiated questions (using PowerPoint - on one slide) at the start of the lesson in which the students receive their feedback. 2) Set students one, two or three (of the five) questions to complete at the beginning of the lesson by writing the question numbers in the teacher comments section of the feedback form. 3) Ensure the questions are stretching and challenging for the high performers or that they are set at an appropriate level for those who did not do as well in the homework.
