Direct Instruction
The learning intention for this lesson was to share an idea using a visual image as a resource to support writers. The focus is on learning to write down an idea using words I know and attempting to record some sounds I can hear in unknown words.
Rewindable Learning: The children in this group use their iPads to record their ideas. I found this as a useful tool especially with juniors. They have interesting ideas to share however experience difficulty holding onto all their ideas in their heads. As children become confident and independent writers they may no longer need to record their ideas. In this video you will see a guided writing session with 3 children in a group.They are emergent writers.
