Educators can have more - productive discussions about where
students are in relation to where they need to be and what type
of instruction can help
students improve by developing common definitions
around what it means to be good at a subject, coming up with valid assessments and attainment targets, auditing
examples of students»
work, and discussing appraisals
of these
examples (Black, Harrison, Hodgen, Marshall, & Serret, 2010).
As an
example of the former, one
of the subject areas I have used for a writing assignment is landowner liability to trespassing children.40 Even though these cases are not within our first - semester coverage, I assign several cases from a later part
of the casebook so the
students can see how this area
of law has evolved and how it
works in different jurisdictions.41 An
example of reordering covered material occurs
around the final writing assignment, which involves a landlord's liability for the criminal act
of a third party.
