How has your writing changed from Year 5 to Year 6?
- I have improved my writing. I did like more writig now, but not writing the same stuff, saying different stuff. I know more ideas to write. When I wa sin Year 5 I didnt write more interesting stuff. In Year 6 I have learned aboutsentences being interesting and about nouns and adjectives and verbs and how to start sentneces in an interesting way.
MY REFLECTION
Robin spoke really well about his learning. He is an ELL student and I thought what he said showed an understanding of himself as a learner and of what he was learning. Much of what we have been working on in class came through in what Robin said.
Next Steps for Robin:
- Deliberate choice of vocab with an audience in mind.
- Strategies for what good writers do.
Next Steps for me:
- To keep building a shared understadning of the language of learning.
- To establish writers groups and group conferencing.
