First year key assessment two - rundown and rationale

First year students will soon be able to find their second key assessment grade on ProPortal


Very soon you will be assigned a grade for key assessment two. Unlike for other key assessments, this grade has been taken from your overall performance based on four different assignments and assessments:

1 - The recent 'newspaper mini-mock' question
2 - An assessment of the quality of your notes and the tidiness of your blog*
3 - The whole-class newspaper practical
4 - The peer marked and teacher moderated magazine mini-mock question 


If you would like any further elaboration on this, please have a chat with your teacher at the end of the lesson

*This might sound silly, but the organisation and design of your blog has a very strong correlation to the final mark you are award in the exam. And it makes absolute sense: your blog is your notes, your thinking space, your revision guide and your workbook. So keep it as tidy and as logical as possible!
