Room+11

Jacqueline Tanner __ROUND ONE__ During the week I worked in Room 11 with Jacqueline. We focussed specifically on writing and the children being able to identify what they need to get better at. By the end of the week all children had identified a Learning Intention that they wanted to work on in writing, and were able to compare their work to the curriculum exemplars for English (see examples below).



__ROUND TWO﻿ __ The next time I was in Room 11 we picked up from where I'd left off and introduced the children to the next writing level (via the exemplars). They identified all of the things that a Level 1iii writer can do and related this to their own work. We also looked at the progress they had made this year. Each child was conferenced by Jacqueline to evaluate their current learning goal and choose another one that will continue to help them move forward with their writing. The children now have a very clear understanding of what good writing looks like and were able to discuss deeper features (content & ideas) as well as surface features (spelling & punctuation).
