During Professional Practice 1b I implemented the use of ‘Two Stars and a Wish’ as a form of peer assessment. This required the children to provide each other with two things they liked about each others work and one area in which they could improve. The comments that were written were closely related to the learning objectives and any previous targets/challenges that they had been set.
The example shown was completed in regards to a newspaper article which the child had written. His peer identified that he had discussed who, what, where and why, which had been discussed as a class and was decided to be a vital aspect of newspaper articles. His next star was that some had been written like an article, referring to the tone that had been used throughout. His wish included adding speech marks around the quotes. By completing this formative assessment activity, the children are able to consolidate their own understanding of the learning objectives whilst also recognising which areas they need to improve in their own work.
