The Comment Item Bank is a support package to the Integris Reporting
Program in an effort to assist teachers and schools in formulating report comments.
MUSIC | VISUAL ARTS | HEALTH | PHYSICAL ACTIVITY | WRITING | VIEWING | LISTENING AND SPEAKING | READING | CHANCE & DATA | MEASURMENT | NUMBER | SPACE | WORKING MATHEMATICALLY | LOTE | SCIENCE | SOCIETY & ENVIRONMENT | TECHNOLOGY & ENTERPRISE
- The comments link directly to the Outcomes and Standards Framework.
- The comments are able to be dropped directly into the Integris Reporting Program.
- It comes in a CD format as a series of Excel CSV files and WORD documents that schools can edit and add to.
- The comments are descriptive and provide clear performance achievements.
- The substitute signs <N>, <t> and <p> have been included with the comments for personalisation.
A sample of the Comments are as follows
English
Reading
Level 2
- <N> is aware that authors and illustrators have particular audiences in mind when they construct texts.
- <N> can refer to authors and illustrators of books and comment on other books produced by them.
Listening and Speaking
Level 2
- <N> listens to others and comments appropriately.
- When speaking, <N> can provide supporting details for key ideas using connectives such as ‘if’, ‘then’, ‘and’, and ‘because’.
Viewing
Level 2
- <N> can compare the function, format and structure of texts such as comics, Web pages, diagrams, timelines and maps.
- <N> can recognise some of the ways in which visual information can be presented, such as simple diagrams, graphs and maps.
Writing
Level 2
- <N> can attempt texts such as lists, letters, recounts, narratives, procedures, instructions, messages, rhymes and simple descriptions.
- <N> is beginning to proofread for spelling errors.
Mathematics
Number
Level 3
- <N> can use the range of alternative everyday expressions for the four basic operations interchangeably.
- <N> can break numbers down into factors and realise that they can do the multiplication in any order and get the same result.
- <N> can round numbers up or down to the nearest 10 or 100 to serve a specific purpose, such as estimation.
Space
Level 3
- <N> can place and locate key features on a map.
- <N> uses conventional names of shapes and component parts of shapes in <p> descriptions of things, such as side, face, edge, vertex, base, surface, curved, triangular and circular.
Measurement
Level 2
- <N> can associate the word ‘mass’ with heaviness and ‘capacity’ with how much something holds.
- <N> knows that to directly compare how long events take they need to start the events at the same point in time.
Chance and Data
Level 4
- <N> can use a range of sources of information to put things in order from least likely to most likely.
- <N> can read the information provided on axes of bar and line graphs, including where all calibrations on the scale may not be labelled.
Working Mathematically
Level 2
- <N> can recognise the need to correct <p> work, although they may need prompting to check it in the first place.
- <N> can make conjectures (often guesses) about shapes and measurements and can test <p> conjectures with a single trial.
Society and Environment
Level 3
- <N> understands that individuals belong to a range of groups that vary in traditional and non-traditional aspects.
- <N> understands that a range of natural processes and human activity create patterns on the earth’s surface.
Science
Level 3
- <N> can plan for investigations, showing some awareness of the need for fair testing.
- <N> can recognise different materials on the earth and understand that they have different origins.
The Arts
Music
Level 3
- <N> can prepare <p> music works for presentation to an identified audience, such as a school assembly.
Visual Arts
Level 3
- <N> can select, adapt and use a range of arts materials, skills, processes and techniques to create their art works.
Technology and Enterprise
Level 3
- <N> can make realistic suggestions, such as when they match properties of materials to the requirements of their design.
- <N> can identify how factors of time, cost, availability of materials, equipment and expertise affect decisions relating to the selection of materials.
LOTE
Level 3
- <N> is beginning to explore, take risks and experiment with language, so that <t> can communicate with other <target language> speakers.
- <N> can explain the main idea of a text through role playing, sequencing a set of pictures, writing simple texts to read to others
Health and Physical Education
Level 3
-
<N> can predict and reflect on the consequences of their decisions when faced with peer pressure.
-
<N> can describe how recreational and sporting activities can maintain or enhance physical, mental, emotional and social health.
