Student+self-assessment

= = =Student Self-Assessment  = In the self-assessment task, students are required to assess their own writing. They then can revise and edit texts to make them more accurate and meaningful. Self-assessment is a helpful feature in the assessment practices. The following aids can help students learn standards for good writing:


 * Self-assessment checklist of learning goals
 * Checklist of strategies used for reading a particular text

The figure below is an example of a self-assessment checklist. Teachers may provide the checklist and have students paste the self assessed checklist into their writing books beside their writing piece. This can be changed for assessing particular features of writing in relation to different genres.
