I have decided that PEEEL or PEEL or FEEL just does not work as a format for writing a paragraph for SS or HY. The acronyms do not match those of the LORMs.
So I have decided that we will use PDEEL. This is better.
Students wil then know if the just do the P and D, they can expect only L2 marks.
It forces them to also think of writing to address the issue in the question. This is an important heuristic so that students can be more self-guided in their writing.
Has self-guiding worked?
Answer: Somewhat. It produces less of a robotic answer and students seem to be thinking as they write to address the question. The SS marks appear to show this although about 1/5 of the students about 7 in a class of 35 still need more scaffolding. Where do their difficulties lie? The best way is to ask them in a survey or dialogue.
