Narrative Assessment - Literacy: Writing

Learner: Kaiariki                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan             Date: 2 June 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Our writing focus today was about creating recounts about our weekend. Together the learners discussed their weekend and identified what they wanted to write about. I was working alongside Kaiariki to identify the keywords that were needed to add to her story about going to the movies. She was able to tell me lots about her weekend and seeing Sivkheng. Together we created a success criteria (what I need to have to be successful) and Kaiariki suggested that we need to include finger spaces and capital letters as part of our to be successful list. Kaiariki went away and began writing. When she returned we read her work together checking the success criteria as we went. Kaiariki had monitored her writing to ensure she was including all the required elements and had correctly used all four of our success criteria! Great managing self learning Kaiariki!

Evidence of learning

Kaiariki came up with 2 of the 4 ‘must haves’ on our success criteria.
