The School Based Assessment (SBA) (Paper 3/1) portfolio requires that the candidates create an individual portfolio on an issue/topic/ theme or event that is current in the society. Candidates will work in groups. The topic is selected as a group. The topic must be approved by the teacher.
Requirements for the Individual SBA requirements
The SBA contains six main items:
- Plan of investigation
Introduction
Each candidate should write an introduction to the issue/topic/theme or event. There should be a word limit of 100 words at maximum.
Candidates are expected to state why they chose the issue/topic/theme or event?
Benefits
Candidates are expected to state the benefits of the topic/issue/theme or event as a student of English.
Data collection
Candidates should state the method that will be used to collect pertinent information for the group’s issue/topic/theme or event.
Presentation plan
The introduction should also state how the candidate intends to use the information collected in the oral presentation.
- Participation measure
Each candidate’s individual SBA portfolio must contain a completed rubric form which gives an assessed score of the student’s individual participation as recorded by the teacher and the student him/herself.
Indicators of group activity
The portfolio must contain a minimum of three (3) pieces of material:
- audio and/or
- visual media.
These pieces are collected and presented in the candidate’s individual SBA portfolio. These three products should address the selected issue/topic/theme or event selected. One of these pieces must be printed material. These three pieces will form the basis for class group work activities.
The candidate’s individual SBA portfolio must contain three (3) pieces of writing. These pieces will explore and reflect on the selected issue/topic/theme or event in writing.
Reflection 1 – the candidate discusses how each of his three (3) selected products (from section 3) helped to shape his or her thinking about selected issue/topic/theme or event.
Reflection 2 – the candidate discusses the use of the language used in each of the three (3) selected products.
Reflection 3 – the candidate describes how the process of completing the SBA individual portfolio helped the candidate to become a better person.
The reflections must be completed during supervised hours by the teacher.
- Written Report
The written report of the investigation is a summary of the processes, procedures, and outcomes of the research. This should include:
- the material that the candidate collected,
- the reasons for selection and
- an analysis of the material.
Word limit for this report should be about 250-300 words in total.
- Plan for Oral Presentation
A brief plan of the oral presentation must be submitted in the student’s individual SBA portfolio. This plan should include the candidate identifying the format for the oral presentation, along with the summary of the sources. This piece will not be graded but the candidate must include this piece.
Oral Presentation
This is the candidate’s personal response to the selected issue/topic/theme or event, and this should be delivered orally for 3-5 minutes. The oral presentation should be delivered mainly in standard English and in the genre of that the candidate chooses. For example, the presentation may be in the form of poetry, prose, a speech, an argument, a role play, drama, or an exposition. The student should begin his/her oral presentation by delivering a brief overview of the presentation including the genre chosen, the sources used and a comment on the kind of language used.
