Teacher Rich Walters presents an easy lesson idea to facilitate peer-to-peer assessment, using a pack of post-it notes and three categories of questions. The pupils tackle a range of questions, classified as standard, challenge and super-challenge, then check their answers against their peers’. They pick a question and then write their answers on the back of the post-it note, along with their name. The dialogue that this creates is highly effective, enables students to learn from each other and helps them to understand what their attainment levels mean. It is an approach to questioning and peer to peer assessment that can be applied to a range of subjects and levels.
You can use this video in three ways. If you like it and it fits your pupils then why not try the actual lesson: there is a lesson plan and other materials below. You could adapt it for your subject and age group or you might find it jogs you into trying something entirely different.
