Week 2 Term 3 Observation

Focus: Writing

Focus: How the teacher scaffolds writing targets.

What I saw: Teacher begins by asking what they are trying to do in their writing. They must have set expectations before as the children knew exactly what they needed to have in their writing. Chn draw their plan with teacher at the teaching table. The teacher writes with the chn the whole way through the sentence using repetition. Sounds are repeated through the process of writing each word.

What I will use: To set up expectations I will begin my lesson talking about the WALT and what I expect to see with my writing group. Questions I can use: What do we need to remember to do when we are writing? What is our focus? Have you thought about your WALT? It is important to reinforce the whole way through the teaching group.
