Discussion question · 10 marks
Reflect on a recent writing task you assigned in your classroom. If you were to redesign your feedback process for that specific task, how would you incorporate a student-facing rubric and a peer-assessment loop to ensure students better understand the Cambridge command words? Provide specific examples of how you would scaffold this for a mixed-ability group to ensure that both struggling and high-achieving students are sufficiently challenged.
