Learning Continuum
Bobby was given Grade C but according to the purpose,
Sequence of Content and achievement He should have been
given Grade A as he has clearly fulfilled the purpose of the
Art work by explaining the insect and his features in a very
clear manner as well as he has also followed the sequence
of the content. So according to me he should have been
given an upper grade according to his art work. He has
demonstrated an appropriate level of competence by using
different techniques and forms to represent the subject
matter.
