Maybe so. Extras are a common part of the personal statement and thus part of the application. If you're out there playing, working with others then your communication skills are likely to be improved and that helps for the all important interview.

Oxbridge like students that read around and beyond the AL course. They also appear to prefer the ‘well-rounded’ candidate who performs in the school play, orchestra or sports team. For most students, an extra AL will inhibit rather than enhance their ability to do those two things.

If they all cut their budgets by half isn’t he just proposing the status quo of US military dominance? Surely China wants to spend more to compete with US and expand territory in South China Sea.

The model would provide one possible solution, I would go through other options - and could show some examples and non-examples from the students scripts under the visualiser.
comment in response to

By targeting the most common errors when I go through the model, I'm literally telling them: "Write down: 'need to use contextual knowledge to assess the source'". So they all will get the 'three main things' I want them to. When I take the scripts back in to add marks I can see if they've done it.

Number of benefits:
1. Students get a useful model to refer back to
2. Students stop comparing marks
3. Students have to reflect on their answer and write feedback
4. No heavy workload writing comments on each script

I read @teacherhead.bsky.social blog on 'closing the gap' via feedback. For assessments I write model answers. Then mark the scripts (mark in markbook, not on script). In lesson I go through model. STUDENTS WRITE FEEDBACK to 'close the gap' between their answer + model. Later I put mark on script.

Yup. Going deep against a Vic Fangio defence with stud cornerbacks.... not the best idea.
