The Writing Process

In Room 2 we have been learning all about the writing process. We know that there are lots of steps to follow in order to complete a piece of writing. We all have a peg with our name on. When we have completed a part of the process, we move our peg on to the next step.  

We have to think about our topic before we can plan. We often share our ideas with our learning buddies.

 We can plan using a picture and label important parts. 

Once we have planned our writing, we can start! Sometimes we work with Miss Monteith and other times we see what we can do all by ourselves. We try and remember all the things that good writers do. 

 After writing is finished, the we need to do self-assessment. This means we check our work to see if we got it or need more practise. This is what some of the self-assessment looks like. 

We have to circle the smiley face if we have used it in our writing and the sad face is for if we haven't. This becomes our next step for tomorrow or we can go back and write some more and then circle it again. 

We share our writing with a buddy. Sometimes they give us some more ideas to add to our story to make it even better :) 

We have "Publishing Thursday" where everyone has to choose a piece of writing from the week to send to the publisher - Miss Monteith. She types them up and has it ready for illustrating on Friday. We get our writing made into a class book. We now have 3 books with all our favourite stories that we have written. If you get a chance, come in and read them!
