  • Essay / Educational Evaluation Essay - 1123

    This essay needed to be peer-reviewed because it created more opportunities to learn from each other. They were shown the correct method for addressing an envelope on the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB). Students then took turns correcting the errors on the IWB. They were then given examples to correct on a worksheet. Group work was allowed as I wanted them to draw on their own experiences of letters they might have received at home. They then had to ask each other for a partner's address, record it correctly and have it verified by a peer. This promoted learner involvement and allowed errors to be corrected by their peers rather than by me, the teacher. It was an empowerment exercise that built confidence and motivated learners, as some wanted to try again to succeed. This activity assessed the correct way to address an envelope. I chose the blank envelope because it depicted realistic images. This worked well, as all learners would have received college mail at home, if not anywhere else. I deemed it inclusive for this reason. As this was peer-reviewed, my observation of each group verified that the addresses were written correctly. Another way I could have assessed this was for the learner to select relevant information from a text and put it together correctly to answer a problem.
