Narrative Assessment - Writing - 16 March 2016

Learner:  Fernanda            Learning Coach:   Megan Croll             Date:   16 March 2016

Learning Area:  Writing

Learning Observed

Fernanda’s writing group were learning to writing recounts about events that had happened in the past.   They were think about what had happened over the previous weekend, then share their idea with a partner.   Some Learners then had an opportunity to share with the whole group and we quickly brainstormed some ideas that we might be using.   Alphabet cards and essential sight word cards are available for the Learners to use during their writing   Fernanda chose to not draw a picture as part of her brainstorming as she just wanted to write about her idea.

Evidence of learning

Fernanda was able to write in the past tense and think about the initial letter sounds when trying to write unfamiliar words.   She shared an idea and included extra detail.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Fernanda collaborated with others during the brainstorm.   She connected with a personal experience and used this to help form her ideas for writing. She was able to work by herself to sound out the main letter sounds she could hear in the  word ‘park’ (Managing Self).  Fernanda is forming most of her letters correctly and listens to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text).  She was able to Think of her own idea and write about it.

Next Learning Steps

Use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence Use a full stop at the end of a sentence Lowercase ‘p’ when a capital is not needed
