Writing

CURRICULUM FOCUS

This week we are learning to independently plan the writing of a procedural text.

Students will be going through the writing process of planning, drafting, revising, Peer Feedback (ASK A FRIEND) and publishing.

We are focusing on asking a peer to help with improvements that can be made to a procedural text. This will allow students to learn from each other. 

VOCABULARY

AS a peer we are asking the students to provide Constructive Feedback based on the mini conference they have had. 

You can say 

-I loved… 

-I like the way you…

-Something you could do next time… 

Emphasise the importance of using feedback to revise and improve writing independently.
