Discussion question · 10 marks
Reflect on a recent unit you taught. How did your formative assessment activities explicitly map to the CAIE assessment objectives, and how did they directly contribute to the student evidence found in their final portfolio? In your answer, provide a specific example of an activity where you saw a student struggle to connect their process to the final outcome and detail the exact pedagogical intervention you used to bridge that gap, referencing the relevant mark scheme criteria.
