Writing Skills

Today my Year 11 class had a double lesson with Mr Marc Milford, where we concentrated totally on writing skills.
The reason we need to focus on better writing skills is that this will help then produce better descriptions and analysis of their design work so will help them achieve higher levels at NCEA.

This was the document we were working on that Marc put together in response to the NZQA exemplar for AS91068. This is the standard that the students will be working on next.

Here is a video of the sections of the lesson where Marc was addressing the class. I videoed the whole lesson but cut the sections where the students were getting on with their work and Marc and I were roaming.


Here is the writing that the students produced on the board in small groups. The marks are based on the feedback given by Marc to the teams.
