Discussion question · 10 marks
Reflecting on your own practice, describe a specific instance where a student misinterpreted an IB command word in their Internal Assessment. How did this misinterpretation impact their final mark, and how would you redesign your lesson plan or rubric to ensure this does not happen to future students? Provide a detailed, evidence-based argument that incorporates the principles of assessment for learning.
