Lesson idea

Pupil self-evaluation. Take a photo of a piece of work and use it as a background, then select the highlighter pen.  Ask the pupil to make a voice recording, firstly reading it through, then highlighting certain aspects (such as use of adjectives) followed by one way that it could be improved.  Save as a video and upload it into j2e.
