Today studnets learned how to revise their written work based on success criteria. They chose a draft piece of writing to revise and then chose a criteria point to focus on. Then they read through their draft to assess how well the writing met the criteria. They used their assessment to make improvements to their drafts. They read and re-read their drafts many times focusing of a different criteria point each time. By the time they have completed this process they will be able to see how much they were able to improve their writing. I cant wait to see the results of their hard work. If you use the success criteria, improvement is guaranteed! |
