Active correction sheet

Correcting is not copying the answer key. This sheet helps you understand your mistakes so that you do not make them again. Fill it in on paper or on the school online platform, with your marked test in front of you.

Step 1

Method

Read your test again without looking at the answer key. Find the error codes your teacher wrote in the margin.
For each mistake, look for the correct form yourself, with your notes, a dictionary or a classmate. Then check with the answer key.
Fill in the table: my mistake, the type of error, the correct form and, above all, why.
Review each part, then fill in “What I didn't manage to do” and “What I could have done better”.
Set yourself one precise goal for the next test. Your teacher reads the sheet and signs it.

Step 2

Error codes

Code	Meaning
Sp	Spelling
G	Grammar (tense, modal, passive, word order)
Ag	Agreement (singular and plural, third person s)
V	Vocabulary (wrong word, French word, repetition)
P	Punctuation and capital letters
M	Meaning (misunderstanding or wrong answer)
Me	Method (instructions not followed, no evidence, no quotation)

Step 3

My mistakes table

My mistake (I copy it)	Type of error (code)	Correct form	Why (the rule, in my own words)
“Jamestown has been founded in 1607.”	Grammar (G): tense	Jamestown was founded in 1607.	With a finished date in the past (1607), use the past simple passive, not the present perfect.

Step 4

Review of each part

Part	My points	What I will remember
Part A · Understanding the documents	/ 6
Part B · Language and key facts	/ 6
Part C · Writing: Whose story?	/ 8

Step 5

What I didn't manage to do

I name the question or the criterion and say what stopped me (I did not understand the instructions, I ran out of time, I did not know the idea…).

Step 6

What I could have done better

I give at least two precise improvements: check my verbs, quote a document, follow the four parts…

Step 7

My goal for next time

One sentence: “Next time, I will …”

Step 8

Teacher's check
