grade differences
Assign the same writing piece to a group of grade 7s and another group of grade 11s and immediately notice the difference in the amount of information required.
The 7s need to know whether the rough copy should be in pen or pencil, whether the good copy should be in pen or pencil, whether they should skip lines, if going under or over the word limit by 10, 15, 20 words is ok, if they should make corrections on the rough copy or off it, in a different colour pen or same, and whether the rough copy and good copy should be one and same or seperate.
The 11s just want to know one thing– when it’s due.
