A draft only gets better when somebody else reads it carefully. Today you swap devices with a partner, judge their Action Record against the Features of Quality, and leave them one change that would matter most. No marks, no totals: just specific comments they can use.

The Features of Quality judge three things only: how you engaged in meaningful action, the quality of your personal reflections on your learning, and how the record is presented.

Pin those three headings. With your partner, name them back without looking.

You do not need every level read aloud in full. Here is engagement across the four levels, in the NCCA's own words:

Exceptional: The action record shows how the student fully and effectively engaged in meaningful action.

Above expectations: The action record provides evidence of how the student engaged in meaningful action.

In line with expectations: The action record provides evidence of the student's engagement in the action.

Yet to meet expectations: There is limited evidence of personal engagement in the action taken.

The other two headings use the same ladder. Reflections move from excellent quality, to good quality, to some evidence, to very limited evidence. Presentation moves from comprehensive, creative and highly effective, to organised, creative and effective, to organised with some creativity, to a very basic summary that may lack detail and creativity. The full official wording stays on screen for the review so you can check it row by row.

Pairs and drafts should already be set. Swap devices with your partner so you are reading their draft Action Record, the one they built on the platform last time. If either of you has no usable draft, use the short sample draft your teacher provides, or join a triple so nobody is left without something to review.

Open the interactive activity. The lookFor lines stay on screen the whole time. Take one row at a time: engagement, reflections, then presentation. For each row, choose a level and write one specific comment that points at a part of the draft. No marks and no totals: an honest level with a clear pointer is more useful than empty praise. Finish by naming the single change that would improve the record most. Hand the review back when both of you are done.

Talk with your partner for a minute each. Read the review you received. Which comment is clearest? Which one will you act on first?

As a class: what made a comment useful, and what made one hard to use? Next time you reopen your own draft, you work through the review, change what you accept, and say why if you leave something as it is.

You can now judge a draft Action Record against the Features of Quality, say one specific thing about engagement, reflections and presentation, and name the single change that would matter most. There was no total and no grade: the review is something your partner can use. Next time you reopen your own draft and improve it from that review.
