Writing

Reflection: Linked to PTC 4, 6 and 11 This is Term 2 2016. I would say that this is one of my successes with this class. We have come a long way to get to where we are now ... looking at the results of what changes have occurred now in Term 4 compared to what we did in Term 1. My writers have changed their style of writing, they have changed their motivation to actually write, and have become willing writers. They are able to write independently now.  This is an accomplishment in it self, and also a note to myself, that the hard work is beginning to pay off.

Below is a slide of my writers in Term 3.  Even in this slide, it shows how far they have come, compared to when we first started growing as a class, as a small community of writers and learners.  This is writing in a context, in which it was a cold and frosty morning.  Senior staff members decided to give all of the students at school a hot cup of milo, and I certainly know that my class of writers certainly enjoyed.  We discussed how their puku felt when they were drinking the hot beverage.  What it tasted like, and what they have had a hot milo with.  This also creates happy memories of being at school, with some comforts of home.
