Homework
This class used the 'Grammar Hammer' homework scheme. This is a structured program used in many primary schools in the UK; it is carefully designed to enhance students' grammar proficiency through consistent practice and assessment. Each week, learners will be assigned grammar exercises covering various topics such as punctuation, parts of speech and sentence structure. After completing these assignments, they will submit them to their tutor via the Outschool classroom. The teacher will provide constructive feedback to identify areas for improvement and offer additional support as needed.Assessment
💻 Diagnostic questioning is used at the the start of the course. This is where specific questions are used to assess students' prior knowledge, understanding and misconceptions about a topic before instruction begins. 📋Formative (on-going) assessment are conducted throughout the duration of the course. Weekly tests are administered in class to assess student understanding of the material. In order to cater to all learner needs, these quizzes range from multiple choice, 'fill in the blank', matching, true or false and written/worked questions.Class Experience
