Once you have posted your essay you must read through it and make a judgement of your work against the marking criteria which have been posted below.
Post a comment beneath your essay in which you explain which level you think your essay falls into for each of the 3 marking criteria.
In order to show that you are using some higher order thinking skills you should also try to explain why you think your essay fits into each level you have awarded.

This comment will form the start of our learning conversation.
Your essay will be assessed relating to each of the following 3 areas:
1. Explanation / Analysis and Argument (out of 20)
2. Use of Examples (out of 20)
3. Use of terminology (out of 10)
I will do this by referring to the mark scheme below.
It is possible to award marks from different levels to your essay. The overall mark is then determined by adding the 3 separate marks together to give a final mark out of 50.
