Writing Workshop

       Sheena Cameron Writing Workshop

       Today I had the pleasure of attending Sheena Cameron's writing workshop. 

       This workshop, for me, was a valuable experience. Not only did this workshop consolidate what I am already doing, but also what I need to include more into my writing programme to ensure success, and understanding for all learners. It is a belief that this is an ongoing development for all teachers. Quick short activities were also shown to help engage all writers; 

             - iMovie (Using scripts)

             - Using an image where students explain an image and cannot use word   

                                                                    that contains the letter, 'e' for example.     

       Where to next: 
         - Use more modelling to ensure students understand the writing for the lesson.
         - Setting up writing groups, based on writers needs (i.e. punctuation, ideas)
         - Quick short writing activities encouraging students to be critical thinkers.
