I am so angry. I have just finished marking Phase 3 of the Gr 12 PAT. The poor marks are not my problem. I taught the PAT well, however many learners spoke through my classes, checked e-mail while I was explaining and just ignored me.
I am going to take the points below and incorporate them in the assessment of the Gr 10 and 11 PATS. And when I make MY Gr 10 and 11 EDITED rubric I will not give ANY marks for ANY things if they are meaningless, i.e. no being nice. I am irritated by stupidity and plain carelessness.
My Gr 10 and 11 PPTs which I am using for teaching are available here.
- The graphs must be woven into the story/discussion. The graphs must NOT be in a section on their own. The graphs must help explain the discussion.
- A caption of a graph is not a story, and should not pretend to be a story. A caption is a ‘heading’ for an image. You talk about the evidence of the graph in the body of the text as part of the story and not in the caption.
- Pictures, if used, must be described or referred to in the text. They should not be in a page or section on their own.
- Tables copied from a database or spreadsheets have no place in a report. The material must be synthesized or analysed so that it gains meaning.
- There should be no need for any material in the report to come from any web site or copied from anywhere. The report is the result of an investigation into a problem. It is the ‘result’.
- The report should look professional! I have seen too many spelling mistakes, and the font in a document should be the same for all sections, and a heading 3 is smaller than a heading 1! Body text should be left aligned.
- The conclusion should draw all the findings together and is a summary of all the work, and end with a final sentence giving the verdict (slotsom).
- The conclusion must be at the end, just before the bibliography.
- Page numbers are required if you have a table of contents!
- The rubric/checklist must be read as a guide as to what is expected.
