Intro to essay peer review: A-Level AQA Paper 2

Storytelling seems to be everywhere these days, and for good reasons: it is the most effective way to connect emotionally and intellectually with an audience. Set up your MFL students for success with a storytelling/roleplaying activity which will teach them how to evaluate an essay (remember the good ol’ days when evaluation used to be at the top of Bloom’s taxonomy, before creativity displaced it?) and carry out basic peer review.

Class of Spanish Students Become First Examiners in History

ÍNSULA BARATARIA brings to you, with the blessing of Sancho Panza (our sapiente y comiente Gobernador), a flipped-learning, blended class, using Microsoft Sway and a storytelling/role-playing strategy: “Class of Spanish Students Become First Examiners in History. Intro to peer evaluation.”
