Writing Program Reflection Term 2

Below is a list of things that you would have seen in my writing program and what you would see now.

Before:
-See one group for 45 mins. This included teaching points, conferencing and proof-reading and editing.
-Chn would follow tumble of activities that they had to do e.g word activity, publishing, handwriting and creative table.

Now:
-I see the whole class for 15 minutes working on something genre based or a skill the whole class needs e.g. features in a cameo or how to proof-read and edit.
-I see 2 groups for about 20 minutes each.
-One of those groups is a teaching group where we a re focusing on one skill. The chn have their learning intentions in their books and their success criteria.
-The other group is a conferencing sessions where each child should be able to tell me what their learning intention is and their success criteria.
-There are actives that the chn have to do that target other skills e.g. spelling, punctuation and word work etc.

I have found the latter to be successful as the kids know what they are focusing on and the have to prove that they know what they are focusing.
