5 Star Rated Expectation Cards
One of my favourite teaching resources as it can be adapted in a range of teaching contexts from how to make a puppet, behaviour management, lining-up, singing, recount writing, assessments to an everyday worksheet.
• The five star rating system can be used when planning, implementing and assessing children's work
• I generally used them for literacy, specifically writing. This strategy gives children clear structure for their writing or work in general. When discussing what you expect to see, students can easily relate to this fun visual aide.
• You should use this in modeled, guided and independent work, when modeling use the star rating scale before, during and after your modeled or joint writing task, referring back to the stars
• Allow these to be displayed during the writing task and or as a permanent display
• You may need more than one set for different pieces of work
• Simply use a white board marker to record expectations, wipe off with a tissue or wet one
 Use the stars as points for example, 1 star work will have only one point and so on.
• I had some very rewarding experiences with my year one students and their writing competencies over one term especially with ESL and special needs children
• Best used with text types, for example, a description needs to have nouns, adjectives, relating verbs and action verbs. If your focus is grammar these could be used for four star work. Further, you could add neatness, editing, spelling etc.
• I found it useful during handwriting lessons star ratings could be for straight sticks, neatness, finger spaces, use of correct lines, posture and hand grip and so on therefore, this would be a 5 star rated piece of work
• Other uses could include listening, assembly behaviour, use of maths strategies in games or work sheets
• When marking individuals work, use a star stamp to record standards of work. Better still, ask individual students to tell you how many stars they should get and why (pupil refers to star chart), then to their work to show you why they should get that many stars. If you both agree then they can place the stars on their work. This is empowering for both you and your students. Note, be sure to allow time for writing conferences such as these you will see so much progress if you do.
• Comes as 6 A4 laminated sheets, including instructions card
