Learning Observed

This term our learners developed their curiosities in narrative writing. Shaval participated in workshops to plan, write, edit and present her writing.  The learners were introduced to narrative structure and language features.  Shaval used feedback provided by the Learning Coach and her peers to make improvements to her overall performance.  The use of a google document allowed Mrs Moopanar to provide ongoing feedback to the learners regarding their narrative content and organisation.  Shaval collaborated with other learners to practice and apply her presentation and writing skills.  The learners used devices to publish their narratives and used these publishings to observe, notice and make changes to their narratives. With support and guidance Shaval was able to share her knowledge and use appropriate structure and language to inform the audience.  It was great to see Shaval practice and apply her writing skills to develop an overall curiosity both at writing and presenting to inform.  Ka pai!
