CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING  Pre-assessment is completed in this unit through the form of a ‘LEARNING TRACKER’. This gives the teacher an Pre-assessment indication of their prior knowledge and understanding of the topic, and areas that require more scaffolding. This LEARNING TRACKER is also a form of ongoing assessment, with students completing it mid-way through the unit and again at the end. Formative assessment such as this is both cons constructive tructive for the student to redirect their learning and or time management, as well as the teacher in making sure students are on track with their learning as well as using their time wisely, and are meeting the learning objectives of the unit. Observation of engagement in learning tasks such as Persuasive Language Bingo is also an indication of who is understanding persuasive language concepts and who may need extra help.

Teacher directed learning through when at the introductory scaffolding stages. Teacher facilitated learning through guidance and feedback given as students work, when required. Both written and verbal feedback is given as a form of formative assessment. Scaffolding concepts so students become more self-directed in their learning, as well as promoting growthmindsets Fun, engaging activities which require students to apply their knowledge of persuasive language.
