I found it on the bitesize last night & she has copied near enough word for word but the 1% where she’s typed she’s not realised the 1% is shared between platelets & WBC’s.You can quite easily tell it’s been copy and pasted. See the grey outlining around each sentence, almost like a grey box. Word does that when somethings been copy and pasted from an website, also not to mention the documented at top you can see it says ‘untitled’, meaning it’s not been saved. If I were doing work with my children on Blood cells and DNA, it certainly wouldn’t be a 2 minute copy and pasted word document, untitled means it’s not saved so will never be referred back to. That’s not learning!
I feel really embarressed for Esmé because it’s not really her fault - she’s not got any direction or guidance because neither adult are actually getting involved. It becoming quite clear now though it’s unlikely they have any professional tutoring & the worst thing is that it’s very unlikely she will have learnt anything in doing this.
I doubt any of them are clever enough to think anyone would even check because it was a split second screen grab. Or perhaps she’s like the rest of us thinks her parents are stupid enough to think it’s her own if they aren’t keeping tabs on what she’s doing
Sarah/Chris - if you read this, bite size is used to supplement what has already been learnt. It’s not a primary source of education.
