Writing Talk

So you've heard about the wonderful world of Number Talks.. but how could we take this precious dialogue to our literacy programme? Well today we had great success with a Writing Talk! 

Using an exemplar of explanation writing 'what happens when you fall asleep?' we discussed different aspects of the texts and its effect. 

We had some great thoughts around the structure of the piece and lots of students were quick to give their advice on improvement.

We have been working hard at discourse, making sure we a listening and adding on to our peers thoughts. This helps us to to learn together!
