Tired of spending hours writing the same comments over and over again? Department budget gone on stickers to make marking easier? Dot marking is the answer! Simple and easy to use with a minimal amount of training for the students, dot marking makes marking book almost like colouring in. Simply print off a marking grid for each student, make up the strengths and targets for that specific topic and colour in the dots. Students then copy down their strength/target at the beginning of the directed feedback lesson and hey presto. Targets are in and in a quarter of the time. In this pack are general dot marking sheets - one for graphs, general presentation and QWC/SPaG. These are printed and laminated ready for general use. Also attached are these as PDFs to help print them a better size. In the PowerPoint are some science, topic specific targets/strengths as an example. This makes a huge difference to your amount of marking and you will never hear the words "what does this say" again.
