other’s. Once they have completed Question 7, tell students swap books with a partner. Show

numbers 1 to 6 at the bottom of the piece and mark each number with a tick or cross to

When they have completed the assessment, help students write comments for their partner to
help them improve their writing. They should give a comment, focusing on the point of

could be done to improve the writing.
Students should then swap back and spend 10 minutes revising their writing according to the
recommendations given by their partner.
