Close Reading @ Level 2

As part of the hard work put into Year One of Beacon Schools, unpacking Close Reading activity in an alternative manner to what has been carried out earlier, Tom Hunter presented on assessment through seminar.

Given the hands-on nature of the media and technology today, students oftn thrive once they have the chance to 'own' the media they are using. In creating a seminar or powerpoint allows the students a far greater range to critically evaluate the media texts that they are studying. This removes the focus from student's written ability and more towards accuracy of analysis.
