Writing marketplace

Date: 2nd May 2022 @ 5:57pm

5CR have been working hard on their writing to produce an adventure story about a rescue team arriving on a planet to respond to an SOS call. Initally, many struggled to understand the story line and which part they would be writing but they have really tried to respond to feedback to improve their work. As part of this, we introduced them to an idea called 'marketplace.' During this activity, children move around the room, reading each others' work. They can then find the owner of the work to have a conversation about one of two things - they might have found a way to help them improve their work or they might magpie an idea to include in their own writing. The class worked beautifully together and there were some fabulous examples of peer support.
