Describe how Literature is being assessed in Outram Secondary

Literature is only taught at the lower secondary level at Outram Secondary School. There is a combination of formal and informal assessments. Aside from the usual class test which is the formative assessment tool, the students are also required to do and are assessed based on a creative written assignment and performance (for Poetry Slam!) which make up 60% of the CA components. This informal assessment will actually encourage the students to score, because they are able to showcase their knowledge (poetry writing) and other talents (acting) by participating in activities that keep them engage, and their interest level high. For the creative performance as a group, there are marks award for Teamwork too, to ensure that there is collaborative learning that has been taking place. Lastly, 20% of the CA mark weightage goes to class participation.
