Using the Child's identified Next Steps to Re-craft their writing:
This child self assessed her writing by highlighting her successes within her story. She then set her Next Step which was to write a question. So instead of leaving it there she is now required to re-craft her writing by including her Next Step into her current story - by adding a question.
"Will I drown?"
Here is her question she inserted into her story after several minutes of rereading her story and looking at her picture plan, plus probing from the teacher to think how her characters are feeling at the beginning, middle and end of her story. What could your characters be thinking?
She had to put a degree of thought into this process and finally came up with her question.
Where to from here? / What next?
This is the first session of re-crafting I have done with this writing group. I will definitely implement this into my programme as it seems to tidy up the Next Step process and the children can see a means to an end of why even identify their next step.
