Room 18
Room 18 have been busy this term learning about the writer’s workshop process; developing their writing skills as authors. Their genre focus has been on Narratives; learning about the structure and different elements that can help make their writing more interesting for the target audience.
Part of the writing process that they have focused on is learning to self-edit their work for improvement. They have participated in a range of mini-workshops where they learn about the importance of experimenting with different elements such as ‘show not tell’ ‘noun groups’ and the benefit of incorporating adjectives. Most recently Room 18 members have learnt to mark their own writing against a rubric where they look for any ‘gaps’ in their writing and set goals on ways they can further improve their writing before they complete a final copy.
