Aim for this course

At the end of this course, students can design, carry out and reflect on a lesson series based on the 5 cycle loop of FE in a 3000-word paper or a 15-minute vlog.

Which aim for a single lesson is SMART?

1. Students can write 5 sentences in English.
2. Students know how to tell a funny joke.
3. Students can use the past simple correctly when talking about their latest holiday for 2 minutes.
4. Students at A1 level can discuss their political preference for 8 minutes.

Success Criteria (SC)

• Success criteria are the steps or mini-aims students must   master to achieve the aim of a lesson (series). 
• Success criteria ALWAYS show student learning. 

Do not confuse SC with (task) instructions, like 'write 200 words' or 'work in groups' or 'use the internet to look up information'.

Example of aim+SC:

Aim: At the end of the lesson, (A1) students can use the present simple correctly in 10 sentences about themselves and their family members.

SC: Students can explain when the present simple is used.

SC: Students can recognise the subject of a sentence as he/she/it.

SC: Students can identify the ending of the stem of the verb as ss/ch/sh/x/o 

        and add -es after the stem.

SC: Students can identify the ending of the stem of the verb as consonant+y

        and change the i to y and add -es after the i.

Remember: SC show student learning!

Use action verbs when formulating SC so the students' behaviour is observable. Use Bloom's taxonomy. 

Remember:         define. identify. describe. label. list. ...

Understand:       explain. describe. interpret. paraphrase. summarize. ...

Apply:                    solve. apply. illustrate. modify. use. ...

Analyse:               analyze. compare. classify. contrast. distinguish. ...

Evaluate:              reframe. criticize. evaluate. order. appraise. ...

Create:                 design. compose. create. plan. ....

1. Students can make correct sentences.
2. Students can use 5 regular and 3 irregular verbs in the past simple to describe holiday activities
3. Students understand how to use the past simple in sentences.
4. Students know time phrases in the past.
