What do I need to do as a teacher to get the kids to care about writing? Editing?

My inquiry question is - What do I need to do as a teacher to get the kids to care about writing? Editing?

My end point would be for the students to:
  • Willingly recraft
  • Independently check success criteria
  • An enjoyment of playing with words
  • Plan for writing

My next steps:
  • Attempt to develop some care (quick writes)
    • responses to video clips
    • noticing walks
    • Diary / Journal of interests (happy, sad, angry, afraid...)
  • Playing with words experiences (short sharp)
    • synonyms
    • challenges - use words three different types of sentences
    • images, movies, sounds
Gather some Baseline Data:
  • student voice - question them and parents
  • e-asttle data about a goal/rubric score
  • pick 6ish kids as a target group
Personal Reading:
  • Gail Loane
  • Spandell


As a side note:

Independent Writing:
  • simplify tasks 
  • success criteria for a purpose (generic for the type)(shared development of models)
  • teacher to not focus on the piece, focus on the skills/goals ignore the rest
  • Genre in the third week
  • Plan 3 types relating to eg personal expressive
