18.01.2022 Always ensure students add a date to their writing samples. Keep students' writing samples from the beginning of the year so they can compare their writing at the end of the year- or at points during the year. This is an easy and effective way to observe growth in writing. Students can even write self-evaluations of their progress for their writing portfolios.

14.01.2022 Events like Science Week remind us how important it is to teach students the "language" of different disciplines, including the text types, language features and word knowledge so that they are able to understand and communicate ideas most effectively. We love the language of science and enjoyed sharing this love with you last week. To make things easy for you, we have compiled all the resources and ideas shared last week into a very neat parcel.

07.01.2022 When visual literacy and written content collide! Infographics serve to help students distinguish ‘most important’ from supporting detail. Creating infographics requires students to read widely, think deeply about the most valuable information to include and select visuals or graphics that are going to get their point across and support their view most efficiently. With links across the curriculum these 21st century texts are well worth exploring and creating.
