Promoting a cause
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create a blog that uses success citeria and self-evaluation to support the writing.
Key learning points
- Blog content should be designed and created using success criteria.
- Self-evaluation is used to evaluate content
Keywords
Subjective - something that is influenced by individual feelings, tastes, or opinions
Self-evaluation - assessing your own work, judging how well you did
Common misconception
Success criteria are only for the teacher to use when marking work. They don't help me.
They're not just for marking. Think of them like a checklist or a guide to help you create your best work. They tell you exactly what you need to do to succeed.
Teacher tip
Have students brainstorm examples of subjective and objective criteria for a blog post. Discuss how different people might have different opinions on subjective criteria, and how to create clear and fair guidelines.
Equipment
Pupils will need access to a digital device that is connected to the internet and has software that allows them to create a blog.
