Ensure that you use neat handwriting and the presentation of your work stays at its best. Achievements: Explain what you learnt in the lesson and the skills that you used. Explain the progress you have made since the previous lesson. Give examples and use the key words to help you. Next Steps: Set yourself some targets for the next lesson and explain what you need to do to improve. You might want to write down any verbal feedback the teacher or class has given you during the lesson. Peer Assessment: During each half term, it is up to you to find someone to complete your peer assessment. You can choose which piece of work you would like them to assess you on. At the start of each lesson, have your booklet out in front of you so that you can remind yourself of the improvements you need to make.
