I really learnt alot from all the presentations today and it was amazing to see all the effort that went into consolidating our learning for the last presentation. Really could see all the growth that we've all made as we are now more confident to plan interventions based on students' needs!

Today, I've learnt about using the 5 senses to help student add more descriptive details to their writing. In addition, the use of POW+TREE to provide explicit instruction to guide planning of ideas before more argumentative essays Vs Story Mountain for more narrative writing!

I think a key takeaway for me in this course is to really enjoy the process. It was nice to have been challenged to think up of interventions that in the end I had alot of satisfaction to put into action! I believe that as a SENO if I enjoy the sessions my students would too and will enjoy their learning process! :)

The presentations were awesome!

I find the 5 senses strategy very structured and relatable for a child. I like that the group factored the interest of the student when explaining the strategy.

The use of graphic organisers would pair very well with POW+TREE, making what could be a complicated strategy easier for the student.

Lastly, the strategy that my group covered- Story Mountain, was a great learning experience too! This teaches students about how to write a proper narrative without requiring that the student practice writing.

Overall, I learnt that while there are a variety of strategies, the method of delivery for each strategy can differ too.

As Dr Liz alluded to, what matters more is if both the strategies and method of delivery work help the student understand better.

Everyone did such a great job with their presentations! Well done :) Genuinely learnt a lot from every presentation.

I particularly found the Story Mountain to be very helpful as it allows students to organise their thoughts clearly + expand on their story. I thought it was wonderful that the group decided to get the student to review their own work samples and apply the strategy. This really helps the student evaluate their own work using the strategy learnt. More meaningful and personal as well.

Will definitely try that out, along with all the other strategies shared by other groups :)

Thank you soooo much Dr Liz for everything ❤️ I truly enjoyed this module a lot.

I really enjoyed all the presentations today, especially the step by step demonstrations that I found really helpful. My biggest takeaway would be using multi-sensory approach, which quite a few groups covered today, using our 5 senses to help students come up with adjectives to lengthen their sentence. I also realised the importance of tweaking our lessons to fit the student's interest in order to keep it engaging (e.g., dinosaurs theme, Dr Liz's sharing on using cookbooks to improve student's reading). I think as long as students are engaged, it is half the battle won.

Thank you Dr Liz for your kindness and for sharing all the resources and knowledge you have with us, giving us so many tips and tricks when we go into our practicum school. All the best for your future endeavours! :)

All the presentations were very informative and i learnt many different strategies.

One strategy ill try out would be pow+ tree. I think it is a very useful strategy that provides a structured and easy way for students to understand how to develop their ideas - for both pri and sec school students.

Thank you Dr Liz for all your guidance and advice! Really appreciate all the food you bought for us, and the wisdom you have kindly shared.

Every group’s presentation was very informative and engaging. I definitely learnt a lot within a short period of time! However what really struck me was the emphasis that the time spent with each student, no matter how little or much has the power to shift how a student view themselves as a capable learner. I will definitely take this with me as I progress along my learning journey as a seno. Once again thank you so much Dr Liz for doing what you do and we really appreciate you! Hope our paths will cross again in the near future :) All the best and take care!!

Everyone did their best today for their final presentations, all your efforts and hardwork paid off!! Well done guys 👏🏼

It was a very valuable last session as I learnt so many different strategies that I can use on my students in the future when working with them! The first thing that stood out to me is using the POW and TREE strategy when it comes to writing. The second thing that stood out to me will be using story mountain which serves as a visual reminder on how one can write. Something important that I’ll bear in mind is to always conduct assessments both prior and after the sessions I’ve had with the student.

Thank you Dr Liz for always feeding us for every session and it really sucks to know that you won’t be teaching us anymore. I genuinely enjoyed this module a lot :) Thanks for your constant guidance and imparting your knowledge on us <3

# data[].attributes.body
I’m sure all of us learned valuable lessons/points from all the presentations! My key takeaway was the PowTree! It’s an effective strategy to get students going in terms of writing.

Overall, this module is the BEST of all!

Truly engaging, enjoyable, and enlightening!

Dr Liz, we will miss you dearly, we will never forget your kindness in nurturing us!

As a visual learner myself, my AHA moment was learning the strategy of getting student to customise her own word wall to serve as recap after each session and a visual reminder for recap in the next session. Having her own word wall also helps with her self-monitoring and reinforcement as well on her progress.

I also picked up a lot of teaching tips for the other writing challenges!

Thank you Dr Liz and everyone (including MOJO) for generously sharing your experiences and strategies!

Group 1, 2 and our group used almost the same strategies (multi-sensory). However, we presented it in a different ways such as their graphic organiser was used for the 5W 1 H while our graphic organiser was used for our 5 senses strategy. Group 2 used it in their strategy "Say it, Tap it, Write it".

We also realised that all except us elaborated on assessment tools used.

Group 2 also had an interesting progress monitoring method which I have not thought of "Word wall - cumulation of words student has learnt to serve as recap/reminder)

Group 4: I saw the group made it easier to understand and use it in practical compared to e-learning. *mnemonic rhymes - make learning easier

*Last but not least: I will remember in mind "less is really more"; "Teaching is not equal to learning. When you teach, doesn’t mean that our students have learnt".

"FAIL is our first attempt in Learning. (Don’t let students or ourselves be afraid of failure)"

Thank you Dr Liz for making 120 an eye opening module for me. It used to be a fear factor for me especially during my stint.

Thank you everyone for sharing so many ideas, and ways. Not a dull moment!

Thank you Dr Liz for all the gems of advice. Less is more and for reminding us that we may be the only place where our students can get to taste success. Celebrate all wins, and provide a safe space.

All the presentations were very informative and definitely be downloading them as part of my inventory bank.

As my group focused on a strategy for a secondary student, it was great to have strategy examples for primary school students that I may use as a SENO (Pri). Everyone did an amazing job in their sharings <3

Less is more!! It is better to focus on certain aspects than trying to target everything. Be adaptable in our lessons when targeting their needs, if the student needs more support in the "we do" portion, SENO can redo the session again.

Thank you Dr Liz for all your guidance and valuable feedback. We are so grateful for you!! Wishing you all the best for

using 5 senses as a strategy to encourage students to write more

graphic organisers to organise ideas and using visuals to make it more motivating for the student to write

story mountains and visuals as a form of planning to help students in the story writing process

great jobs to all the groups today!!

Everyone has done very well for the presentations. They were engaging, and everyone demonstrated a thorough understanding of assessment methods, especially by applying what we have learnt earlier. Seeing how these strategies are used to address each student’s profile and difficulties really guides me for my upcoming practicum.

I especially enjoyed the activities conducted by each group, where it was not just about theory but also meaningful, hands-on application.

Well done everyone! And a big thank you to Dr. Liz for the weekly treats and meals and also your guidance! Truly appreciate! Take good care of yourself Dr Liz!

A very good job to everybody for coming up with an awesome presentation! 👏🏻🥳

What was my biggest takeaway is using our 5 senses to aid in writing, this is something that is around us, that we are conscious about. Using this as a learning strategy makes it more practical and easier to follow. Simple sentences can easily be created. I will definitely use this strategy to teach my students in future

# data[].attributes.body
- strategies are relevant and related to the student problem. I particularly like the use of 5 senses as it can be used naturally with the student in classroom and independently, and doesn’t require extra resources

- ⁠assessment of students needs is crucial includes interviewing communicate with student, teachers & work sample

# data[].attributes.body
All the presentations were great! My biggest takeaway is how five senses can be used to brainstorm adjectives for expanding short sentences and increasing use of varied vocabulary in writing.

# data[].attributes.body
All the presentations were very informative and engaging! I especially liked all the interactive demonstrations such as the use of story mountain, POW+TREE and coming up with words for the 5 senses with the dinosaur. All the strategies shared by the different groups were very relevant and I can foresee myself using them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Good job everyone for the hard work!! <3

The different strategies taught were all very useful and I learnt many new strategies today. I learnt how to use POW (point-organise-write) + TREE to help my student in their writing. This was my first time hearing about POW, and the acronym is clear and POWerful!

# data[].attributes.body
really enjoyed all the presentations! well done everyone 🤩

the strategy that left the most impact was Story Mountain because of how it explicitly teaches students to use each step while writing a narrative essay. it is very clear and helpful especially for students who struggle with ideas or organisation👍🏻 definitely one of the strategies i will be using as a SENO.
