Oral Language and Writing

The Learning Process

• First, the children listened to the teacher describe a creature and they drew what they heard.
• Then they wrote about their creature, using descriptive words.
• Next, they shared their writing with a talking partner to "Give one -Take one"  - share words that they could add to their own descriptions.
• Finally, they worked on their writing again to make it better.

Learning Intention

I am learning to:

• Use words to build a picture in my own mind
• Use descriptive words in my writing
• Use talking and sharing my ideas as a way to make my own writing better.

Success Criteria

• The words I use will put a detailed picture into the mind of the person reading my writing - my audience.
