One of the areas we have been working on this term has been “writing assessment”. Last year we had one writing benchmark activity across the primary school and that was a personal recount. This is one of the simplest forms of writing and is easily accessible regardless of age or English level.
This year we have repeated this activity and have improved upon it.
We redesigned the rubric, using language and standards from the Australian National Curriculum. Furthermore, we created a few extra resources to support the writing activity and designed a “folder up” or Literacy folder system between and across the grade levels. It is baby steps but we believe its steps in the right direction.
