You need to update your information. There IS no longer the Expanded Bridging OR the Summative Reflection. If you read the changes, you will see that not only is there MUCH less work to assess than in the pilot, but since at the end of each unit you will be grading one summative assessment (something you would have done ANYWAY when teaching literature, in order to give a grade), ONE of the other components (teacher's choice) and a short, meaningful feedback for the reflection, you are left in the end with not much more than putting them all together and giving a grade on handing it in. This will take less than 15 minutes when they are ready for their module assessment. I highly recommend you read the Handbook (see the Ministry site).
