What was the highlight of 2019? What will happen in 2020? Students this week morphed into newspaper reporters to write about exciting happenings surrounding the New Year. Note: unlike real reporters, I gave them permission to 'make up' this news - let's have FUN with this!
A short 'quick write' like this helps me to see if students are transferring their writing knowledge/abilities from big step-by-step guided projects (where I generally get higher levels of writing) to regular everyday 'quick' writing. We still do modelled and shared writing as a group, and students are still encouraged to proofread and revise, but it all happens more independently in a shorter project like this.
