Early on I noticed that they often repeat ideas rather than building on them and writing tended to be very short. However I am still unpacking this question more and don't have enough data yet to say that it is just that.<br /><br /> I have been working on increasing length and reducing repetition using timer strategies, organised gifted vocabulary, sentences starters and discussion at each stage drawing on what ideas from other inquiries such as Matt and Zac found in their Boys writing inquiries in the past. <br /><br />I am excited to look really closely at their most recent writing samples and analyse the marks for each area compared with their end of 2018 samples to get an even better picture of these sticking points. I also plan to do a survey with the kids in the next few week to gather some student voice about where they feel they need to most development and support.<br /><br /> Any other suggestions are warmly welcomed. Thanks for your comment.

Which areas do the data suggest are the 'sticking points' for students?Rebecca Jessonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672710206936988419noreply@blogger.com
