Stick a Badge On It
Every badge available for you to earn can be found online on our special badge site: achieve.community.edutronic.net
When you submit something for assessment your teacher will evaluate it against the published criteria for each badge. You can submit work for assessment at any time – and the work can come from inside our outside the classroom.
The criteria is published in conjunction with each achievement badge, along with samples of other students’ work that has met the criteria, so you can be clear about the standards that are expected.
If your work successfully meets the criteria then your teacher will award you that badge. You will receive an email, it will be added to your Credly account and it will show up on the right side of the page whenever you log into the achievement site.
If you want to know more of what is required to unlock an achievement, simply click on its icon or title. Here are a few examples from English, Drama and Science:
Wide Reading Project
During the year you will be asked to read a wide range of texts. Using texts studied in class as well as texts you have selected you will also complete a log of the reading process. Overall you will read eight texts including at least six written texts and two visual texts. You will complete log entries on each text and present a report on your findings.
Attached is the outline of your required personal reading project – inside is the guidance you need to make sure your own-choice reading is going to meet the wide reading criteria.
You can always ask your teacher for advice about which texts would be best to concentrate on – and once you’ve read each text, you’ll then be asked to write a journal entry on your blog explaining how it helped develop your understanding of The Individual and Society.
This year everyone in the school will be required to have a ‘book at hand’ – and for English students, it makes a good idea to make that book one that helps you towards this reading project.
