I was lucky enough to be observed by Ann Grady yesterday, which resulted in some constructive and very useful feedback on the lesson.
She observed a lesson with my target group of students who are Well Below - Below writers.
Yes! Use audience and purpose with this group to engage them. These students need a strong sense of purpose to keep them ‘on track’ with their writing.
Yes! It would be a good idea to make this group’s focus the guided work they do with you.
Yes! Make connections to sentence structures in reading so that they get a sense of ‘auxillary’ verbs.
Ensure your model includes auxillary verbs and that you model this process/use of – for your students.
You may need to include a ‘space’ in your graphic organiser for the helping verb.
Think about the pace/excitement/zest that you model for them as a writer.
2nd group:
-working on connecting sentences
-relating them to the purpose/audience
- 5 day pattern of learning
Very helpful.
Level 1/2 writers
Level 2/3 writers
