To think about...
What is the writing process at TPS? Is there a common language across the school?
What is the point of having 'planning' if you aren't modelling it? If you don't model it, they won't do it. That is a disservice to the students.
Do they have personal goals? Have I asked them what they find hard/tricky in writing? What have I done to support them with that?
Do students know and understand the purpose of writing?
Do they know and understand when they are writing across curriculum (writing during inquiry?).
Am I giving feedback, feedforward or both?
Repetition with variety.
