12th May Narrative Assessment - Writing

Learner: Darius               Learning Coach: Talia Morgan                Date: 12th May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Today Darius was caught doing some #Oresome learning! Darius was invited to work in a guided writing workshop with me and he thought long and hard about what he wanted to write. He drew his picture first to help him brainstorm what to write and we discussed some ideas, then he decided he wanted to write about Volcanoes. Darius wrote “volcano errupts”.

Evidence of learning

Darius is showing his Capabilities in writing and his interest in Volcanoes. I wonder what else he can tell us about Volcanoes?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Darius is developing his Capabilities in writing. He was able to independently think of his own story (Thinking) with support was able to sound out how to spell the words, using the alphabet card (Managing Self). Darius sounded out the main letter sounds he could hear and recorded them with support from Learning Coach, drawing a picture to illustrate his story (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to sound out and record the main letter sounds in unfamiliar words. Explicit teaching on writing high frequency words with support from alphabet card. Encourage to write independently. Share learning with home.
