Year 2: Writing Feedback & Self-Assessment Checklists
Writing Feedback & Self-Assessment Checklists | Year 2 | General, Narrative, Persuasive & Informative
Tired of writing the same comments on student writing over and over, with no quick way for students to reflect on their own progress?
This pack gives you ready-to-use feedback checklists and matching student self-assessment checklists for Year 2 writing, covering General Writing, Narrative, Persuasive and Informative. Tick, don't write — the teacher checklist takes seconds to complete after a writing task, and the matching student checklist lets your class reflect on the same criteria in their own words. Both are aligned to the Hello Primary Writing Growth Assessments rubric criteria, so feedback, self-assessment and formal assessment all speak the same language.
What's Included?
- 4 teacher feedback checklists (General, Narrative, Persuasive & Informative), 2 per page
- 4 matching student self-assessment checklists, written in simple "I can..." language, 2 per page
- Space on every teacher checklist for an "Other" comment and a goal for next time
- Space on every student checklist for "I am proud of" and "My next step is"
- A Curriculum Links page mapping every genre to Australian Curriculum v9.0 and NSW Syllabus codes
- Black and white, low-ink, print-ready A4 pages
Why These Checklists?
- Cuts feedback time right down — tick the boxes instead of writing comments from scratch
- Gives every student a say in their own progress, not just a grade from the teacher
- Keeps feedback and self-assessment pointed at the exact same criteria
- Checklists are generic across General, Narrative, Persuasive and Informative writing, so they work with any topic or prompt you're already using
- Designed to glue straight into writing books or attach to the piece of writing they relate to
Pairs well with the Hello Primary Writing Growth Assessments for a complete picture of student progress across the term.
