The annotated work samples in Judging Standards support teachers when reporting against the achievement standards, when giving assessment feedback and when explaining the differences between one student’s achievement and another’s. Grey highlighting identifies those aspects of the achievement standard addressed in the work sample. Annotations in black text refer to the assessment pointers, while those in coloured text highlight additional, specific qualities evident in the work. Reporting against the Achievement Standard Informative writing: Recount – Space Dome The teacher used the following task to develop recount writing. After experiencing an incursion, the students discussed what had happened with a partner in a timed pair share, centring on ‘what, where, who, when, why and how’. Then the class brainstormed and discussed the experience, including an ordered list of the events and some of the terminology heard. Before writing, the students drew their impressions of the experience. This guided some of their thinking for their writing. Following a ‘gallery walk’ of all their drawings, the students wrote about their experiences. Subsequently, they shared their thoughts and experiences by reading what they had written to each other. The use of descriptive words had been encouraged prior to this task. Reading and viewing By the end of Year 1, students understand the different purposes of texts. They make connections to personal experience when explaining characters and main events in short texts. They identify the language features, images and vocabulary used to describe characters and events. Students read aloud, with developing fluency and intonation, short texts with some unfamiliar vocabulary, simple and compound sentences and supportive images. When reading, they use knowledge of sounds and letters, high frequency words, sentence boundary punctuation and directionality to make meaning. They recall key ideas and recognise literal and implied meaning in texts. Writing and creating When writing, students provide details about ideas or events. They accurately spell words with regular spelling patterns and use capital letters and full stops. They correctly form all upper- and lower-case letters. Speaking and listening They listen to others when taking part in conversations using appropriate language features. They listen for and reproduce letter patterns and letter clusters. Students understand how characters in texts are developed and give reasons for personal preferences. They create texts that show understanding of the connection between writing, speech and images. They create short texts for a small range of purposes. They interact in pair, group and class discussions, taking turns when responding. They make short presentations of a few connected sentences on familiar and learned topics. Creating texts, Informative texts, Factual recount Student achievement is reported at the end of the semester or year using achievement descriptors, which may be accompanied by letter grades. Achievement descriptors/letter grades should not be used to assess individual pieces of work. 2014/6246 [PDF: 2014/18068] English: Year 1 Satisfactory Achievement Work Sample 1 Draws an image to connect ideas to writing. 2014/6246 English: Year 1 Satisfactory Achievement Work Sample 2 Creates short texts for a range of purposes using simple frameworks which follow main elements of the structure.
