Reviewing, editing and celebrating writing.

-Sheena Cameron and Louise Dempsey Two stars and a wish, stamp for wow word, stamp for cool sentence. I am learning what I am learning and  why.  Highlight in reading, lists of different sentence starters.  I can find examples in my writing. I can improve my writing.

Clarity in the classroom

Clarity in the Classroom Author: Michael Absolum Workshop from Toni Making learning intentions clear for the students. Knowing where students are to pitch their learning criteria. Example writing lesson: Played video from literacy shed- Showed clip reminding of that they had been looking at retells. Talk about the video with class, wrote down key feelings as the SC was to add detail.... Teacher to write plan, then students don't need to write the plan.
