Karleil's narrative assessment for writing - March 2015

Learner:   Karleil    Learning Coach:   Mr Dyer     Date:   March 2015

Learning Area:  Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

This term our literacy group has been constructing narrative stories in our writing classes. We have also been using a plan to help learners document their learning and evidence of work. Karleil has taken both of these challenges and is learning how to use them with consistency. He is organised and knows most of what needs to be done. Karleil worked hard the story attached and enjoyed the challenge of creating a narrative story that was full of suspense and mystery. During Literacy, Karleil has also worked as part of a group to construct a narrative story. He has identified imagery and detail in books, and applied this learning into his writing. Karleil understands the elements of a narrative story, from setting the scene, through developing a plausible problem and constructing a resolution that ties up loose ends. He has ended the term with a successful and independently constructed narrative story.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Key Competencies - Karleil has demonstrated an ability to ‘Manage Self’ and is learning to ‘participate and contribute’ fully in our learning sessions. Vision Principles - Karleil is developing ‘Capability’ in Literacy and has expanded his understanding of narrative story writing. He can ‘Collaborate’ with others when co-constructing his learning.

Next Learning Steps

Reflect on learning at various stages of the writing process. This will ensure his work improves in an ongoing way and Karleil will be able to link events in the story more easily. Continue to identify and use new learning from his reading, to improve his writing.
