Teacher-only planning companion for Unit 2 Counter-Narrative Conference and Assessment Sheet. Use it to keep drafting conversations tight, evidence-based, and instructionally useful.
Conference sheets matter because they turn feedback into action. This one is built to keep revision conversations focused on evidence, judgement, and the next move rather than broad praise or correction overload.
Planning and developing a sequence of ideas while evaluating and revising the content, structure, style, and language features of draft texts for effectiveness.
The conference sheet explicitly structures revision around the strongest and weakest parts of a draft, rather than treating feedback as a separate activity.
Te Mātaiaho English `ENGLISH-07c9e7a420`.
Using historical evidence and taking account of context, values, and the information available at the time to make informed judgements about people’s actions in the past.
The prompts ask students and kaiako to identify where evidence is strong, where it is weak, and what kind of historical judgement the draft is making.
Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-ANZH-D1`.
Effective assessment support in Aotearoa should make progression visible and reduce cognitive overload for both learner and kaiako.
Use the sheet to choose one revision move at a time. That keeps the conference manageable for learners with heavy language load or executive-function demand.
Best used during live conferencing or structured peer review.
