21ST Century learning – Narrative Writing.

Reading, Writing and Effective Feedback using an on line environment.

http://room23writingblog.blogspot.com/

Students have been working on creating descriptive passages as well as giving effective feedback.

Now they will be reading the writing of their classmates and giving feedback (click on comments under each piece of writing to see comments.)

Wow - Reading, analysing, critiquing, developing an awareness of quality writing, learning new words from others, as well as developing an understanding the ‘Manakitanga’ and supporting others.

Listening to their work out loud makes them aware of errors, feedback from others gives them reassurance, and confidence. Reading the work of others gives them ideas. Feedback from the teacher gives them advice!

After a week of feedback students will print off their stories and comments.

This has been an extremely exciting process, with huge benefits to student leaning as well as have the class involved in a range of fabulous 'learning conversations'
