Informal Assessment of Student Outcomes What will you assess? Write a draft of their persuasive letter Edit their draft persuasive letter Edit a peers persuasive letter How will you assess? What evidence will you collect? I will look at the students Literacy books to ensure that they are writing and self-editing. I will ensure that the students swap books with a partner to ensure they engage in peer editing. As this is for an Assessment piece, I will not be making corrections on the students work.
