At Purple Pen Geography, we utilize short questions and statements to mark pupils' work. Our method, pioneered by Amy W, allows students to improve their assignments while shading in purple. We incorporate DIRT (Dedicated Improvement and Reflective Time) into a structured 10-minute starting activity, 25 minutes in-class, and homework assignments. By providing verbal feedback and rewards, we foster ownership and engagement. This approach leads to increased success and motivation, as pupils actively seek to refine their work and value constructive comments.

Has it helped? • More ownership - pupils really care about their work and want to improve it. • More active – pupils are talking about their work to teachers and peers • Increased success (classwork/homework) • Increased motivation - pupils who achieve ATOL3 for work get recognition for improvement • Comments at GCSE – Can we have longer to improve our work? Will my grade improve? Can I redo my homework please? Can I have a positive comment?
