Writing+Assessment

This page is all about assessment. Assessment is when we work out how well we are doing. It is all about the **Success Criteria**. We use the **Success Criteria** to find what we are doing well and what we need to work on to improve.

Our focus is on our writing. We create a **Learning Intention** to show what it is we are learning and then build **Success Criteria** that show us what we need to check for the task. Our **Learning Intentions** and **Success Criteria** will change as we improve.
