Today St are doing their second term final writing exam, and it seems that the topic was much more complicated than expected, since for this task they were not prepared. While some students were to describe their classmates or their best friend, others had to compare transport and tourism in two different cities.
L was very worried because she could not attend sessions over a whole week as whe had been very sick. She tells me she is not prepared for writing. Something similar occurred to DS who arrived late and asked e to change her exam sheet for 'an easier one'. Unfortunately she was the latest to arrive and this is the only remaining paper.
I see that for some Sts the time is almost over but have not completed the extension required. The strategy may be useful, but with not practice it is not.

I am checking Sts' writing exams that were graded by my colleague, and to my surprise, again results were good in general terms, though not as much as in the previous term. Even though many Sts did not complete the whole description with all the criteria required in terms of extension, most of them wrote a coherent text and followed the appropriate layout. i will have to check carefully the rubrics and contrast them with the final exams.
