Sadeen's Writing Narrative Assessment - March 2015

Learner:   Sadeen    Learning Coach:   Mr Dyer     Date:   March 2015

Learning Area:  Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

This term our literacy group has been constructing narrative stories in our writing classes. We have also been writing from the heart when documenting a ‘Slice of our Life.’ Sadeen had taken both of these challenges on with confidence and enthusiasm. She is well organised and takes pride in knowing what needs to be done. Sadeen works hard to complete her tasks on time. During Literacy, Sadeen has worked as part of a group to construct a narrative story. She has identified imagery and detail in books, and applied this learning to her writing. Sadeen understands the elements of a narrative story, from setting the scene, through developing a plausible problem and constructing a resolution that ties up loose ends. She enjoys her Literacy lessons and has ended the term with a successful and independently constructed narrative story along with a personal and thought provoking Slice of Life. What a Writing Star you are Sadeen!
