7 Pioneer are preparing for the first assessed piece of writing of the current expedition. They will be describing the key facts and characteristics about one of the main characters from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’
Mr Portman is making sure that the class know exactly what is expected from them: they have been zooming in on the rubric, defining the terminology and developing their understanding of words like ‘analyse’ and ‘identify’; they have unpicked a model introduction as a WAGOLL; and they have also been able to peer critique Dakota’s first draft (a fellow student from 7 Explorer).
All this scaffolding ensures that all students know exactly what is expected from them, and gives them all the support they need to go above (and beyond!) their MEGS.
