Composition: Self-Assessment

Syllabus tag: Kenya CBC | Grade 7 English | Theme 8.0 Road Safety | Sub-Strand 8.5.1 Writing: Composition - Self-Assessment (2 Lessons)

Lesson objectives

By the end of this topic, you will be able to:

• Identify steps involved in the assessment of narrative compositions
• Write narrative compositions and assess the introduction, body and conclusion
• Appreciate the importance of assessment in improving narrative composition writing

Summary

This topic adds a skill that runs alongside the writing process (Theme 7.5) rather than replacing it: self-assessment -- judging your own composition against specific criteria, section by section, using a checklist. Being able to assess your own writing is what makes independent improvement possible, rather than depending entirely on someone else pointing out what to fix.
