Benefits of gallery critique• Students get a better understanding of the criteria/demands of a

task.• They learn from reading a range of different answers. • They take it seriously.• They like working in silence – it gives them a real sense of

purpose and focus.• Gives peer assessment a real focus and kudos.• It’s anonymous- there’s no stigma (plus they’re too focused on

reading and marking).• Saves you time.• It can work across a range of subjects.  The description outlined

here is with a written task in MFL, but it could just as easily be done with pieces of art or PE/drama performances, by filming them and then playing them back on a number of tablets.
