What?
For ELT today we had a session on how to moderate writing using the E-asTTle generic rubric.
So what?
We were given three writing samples and had to work together as a team to come up with scores that we agreed upon to mark the three sample using the E-asTTle generic rubric. We sometimes disagreed with each other but by a very narrow margin. After some debating we finally came up with a consensus. Later we were shown the answers and were happy to realise that we were correct most of the time and the few that we had incorrect was only one level up or one level down.
Now what?
When we mark our learners asTTle writing assessments we will keep this in mind and ask for a second opinion if we are unsure.
