an ‘exploration of the values and assumptions underlying the viewpoints’
– that might well come across in comment on the writer’s language.
I think also the evaluative aspect of the ‘key skills’ might be
expressed through analysis of language. Hopefully this would be explicit rather
than implicit. But as Janet says, the student’s own reading must come
through in their response to the reading expressed in the review. Actually,
rather than use the descriptors, I used the key skills for my feedback sheet. I’ve
attached the one I used. (My students chose to respond to one of three critical
articles on The Woman in White).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Dear teachers<br>
<br>
I have been getting a number of requests lately from schools needing markers<br>
for practice exams (English, ESL, Lit and Language). If any teachers are<br>
interested or available to mark student exams (the payment is usually<br>
negotiated with the school) could you please contact me at the VATE office<br>
so I can pass your contact details on.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
