 * Assessment task**

This activity requires students to form personal responses to at least six independently read texts that are connected to texts studied in class, broadening the students’ understanding of the set texts. These responses and supporting evidence can be presented in written and/or oral forms. Students must include at least four independently read written texts, two of which must be extended texts. The other texts can be visual, oral, or written.



This activity requires students to produce a piece of formal writing that makes a point. The activity described here is designed as an outline only. You will need to adapt and expand it for particular contexts. Contexts could arise from any aspect of the year’s English programme. Some examples are:
 * an opinion or persuasive piece on an issue that has arisen from a text study, class discussion, or school/local/national/global current event
 * a formal learning log on a school community site (for example, a moodle site)
 * an introduction to an aspect of the writer’s culture or background, to be included in a class booklet
 * a report or submission on a school or community-based issue.
