Writing Narrative Assessment - 14 December 2016

Learner:  Edward    Learning Coach: Megan Croll - LH2        Date:14 December 2016

Learning Area:  Writing

Learning Observed

I read a story with the worm hapu titled ‘Crankenstein’.  This story was about a young boy who looked like any ordinary boy, but when faced with a rainy day, a melting popsicle, or an early bedtime, he transforms into a mumbling, grumbling Crankenstein!    After reading this story, I asked the learners to think about what makes them turn into a ‘crankenstein’.  Edward was asked to share his ideas with a partner, but was too shy to share with the larger group.   With some support from Mrs Paraha, his Teacher Aide, Edward wrote his ideas in his writing book.  He was able to clearly state his idea about what he doesn’t like to eat.  Edward is rewriting words when he feels that they are incorrect.  He correctly used a capital letter to start his sentence, with a full stop at the end.
