INQUIRY GOAL - 2014 - TERM TWO REFLECTION

Term Two Reflection:

  • Target group are having weekly focussed lessons on sentence structure where they are learning about the different types of sentences simple, compound and complex.
  • Target group being more able writers compared their Asttle writing samples to each other and gave feedback against the success criteria that we constructed collaboratively.
  • Although original marks did not get altered, I then gave them a copy of their Asttle writing and they were able to make changes to it based on their peer feedback and looking at the SC.
  • Lots of co-construction of SC has meant this group understand the task more.
  • Introduced Free Write Friday where the boys get to write their own stories but have to include aspects of the writing grammar focus we have had in class each week eg. highlighting the different types of sentences in different colours.  
  • These are highly engages in the #100daysoflearning task set for homework which gets them to write a summary of something that interests them.  This has increased writing at home and their writing quality has improved from term one.
  • Attitudes towards writing have changed as they now feel more motivated to write about more exciting things.
