Review and evaluating your work You will be asked to review and evaluate your work (no cheating – you have to be honest as you have to prove where you have matched the criteria.) You will also be asked to peer edit and mark – this gives you a chance to work collaboratively with someone in your class. You will look at their work and make a comment; they will also do the same to your work. This gives you both a chance to see how other people work and how they approach a task – this will help you in your work as well because you will see different ways of doing the same work. Assessment; target setting, marking, improving; are all part of a team effort and all part of becoming an independent learner, not just for school but also for the rest of your life.
