Writing a narrative deliberately crafting sentences for effect

The target group is now showing so much promise in doing reciprocal reading, making predictions, clarifying meaning of words, phrases, terminology, comprehending text, voicing opinions, discussing the author's style of writing and summarising the text. They are more open to each other leading. The students are able to justify their opinions more confidently. They are able to identify how the author has used words, phrases, sentence beginnings, punctuation to add effect.

This has enabled them to experiment with their writing and deliberately crafting their sentences for effect. I am so pleased they have written some good narratives. The students are proud of the progress they are making in reading and writing.

Student voice has made me feel good because every student in the group has mentioned that their confidence has gone up especially in the way they read, participate in discussions and in the way they are crafting their writing with confidence.

A couple of students are still not very confident to share their writing with others in the group or in their class. Working on this.
