EFFECTIVE QUESTIONING AND ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING

I created this activity for pupils who lived in the Mynydd Mawr area of south west Wales, near Llanelli. Whilst this was an excellent activity to do with the pupils from this area, it could be used for anyone studying the impact of coal. There are activities included which encourage pupils to think and communicate. I also took the pupils to the Big Pit as part of this investigation. If you like this activity please review my work!

When pupils ask 'What's a Level 4 Mrs Williams?' I would simply refer to this on my wall display and I would also place a smaller version in their books (this comes with the resource too). Also handy to point out to parents on parents evening who would ask things like 'What does a Level 4 mean in History and how does my son get to a Level 5?' This also benefited the non-specialist teaching staff in the department who were told they had to teach history. With their time limited, they found that this was a useful resource to refer to when assessing pupil work.
