If students have read more than one text in a school year, can they do more than one assessment task? Can they talk about two texts in one presentation or group interaction?
It is up to the teachers to decide how many assessment tasks students should do, but they only need to report one mark per year: either for group interaction or individual presentation. A student could be asked to compare two texts he/she has read/viewed, as that will result in a reason to use a range of oral language. However, this would count as only one assessment task. Alternatively, a student could be asked to do two different assessment tasks based on two different texts, but only one of the scores should be submitted to the HKEAA. Students are not allowed to repeat the same task with the same text, nor should they treat the task as if they were learning the lines in a play, as this will lead to a very stilted, unnatural “performance” and lower marks..
