Writing

CURRICULUM FOCUS

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

Students will use the writing structure of plan, draft, revise, ASK A FRIEND and publish.

We are focusing on asking a friend or peer to help with improvements that can be made to their procedural text. This will allow students to support with parts of structure that they have missed, as well as provide insights like upskilling vocabulary.

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.

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Choose a topic that can be achieved by your child. Choose how to do or make something. Allow them to go through the writing process eg(plan, draft, revise, ASK A FRIEND and publish.)

You or a sibling will act as a peer to help with proofreading. Recommend improvements together.
