Reading our swimming stories

When they were finished, we read our illustrated swimming story and then shared them with other people in the class.  It was interesting to read what other people had read and give them feedback.  You could hear plenty of compliments when people were recounting what they liked about someone's writing.  This is the start of what we call,  peer assessment.




Kate shared her story with the class and we displayed it on the Writing Wall to remind us what we need to do to be successful writers.  We call this Success Criteria. 

Kate used her senses to describe the swimming sports: her plan showed what she could see, hear and feel; she used her plan to group her ideas together into paragraphs; she wrote compound sentences using 'because' to explain why; she added interesting information which made it more exciting for the reader; she used alliteration (using words that start with the same sound) to give her title and lead sentences a little bit of pep.  Thank you for sharing your writing with us, Kate.
