Today we had our second gymnastics lesson and already it is evident students are becoming more comfortable and confident using the various equipment. We were also introduced to our first writing project called an Alphabiography! The project consists of 26 different pieces of personal writing. Throughout the project students will have many writing lessons or writing tips that will focus on what good writers do. Students will then be expected to start applying what they are learning to their written work. Throughout the project students will be having 1 on 1 writing conferences with a teacher, where they will get specific feedback on what they are doing well and what they need to do to improve. They will also be practicing assess their own work against the criteria set by the government for a grade 7 student. Click here to see the government performance standards along with many writing samples. I have also created a more student friendly version (click) of the Perforce Standards to help students in self assessing their own work. Lets get writing! |
