Producing writing of excellence through modelling by https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t This workshop looks at how English teachers can promote high quality writing by modelling examples. It addresses some difficulties that young people experience with their written work and explores the practice of modelling excellent writing as a possible solution. en-us 2018-07-13 09:46:04 UTC 2018-07-22 15:08:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Optimplaces.png Q2 p_miller1 https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270194065 Yes, I use modelling as a form of scaffolding regularly. It is a teaching and learning approach I have tried to use consistently throughout this academic year.I have found it to support learners with their creative writing. ]]> 2018-07-14 13:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270194065 https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195214 Demystifies writing process]]> 2018-07-14 13:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195214 https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195223 Effective modelling builds confidence and shows the thought process. It also gives the students ideas - a safety net. 

In a digital age, it is also important for students to see actual handwriting rather than just text on a screen. ]]> 2018-07-14 13:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195223 Important for EAL pupils to see good modelled examples that they are able to recreate https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195229 2018-07-14 13:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195229 If you re-draft whilst modelling it can help them see the importance of the process to improve writing https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195242 2018-07-14 13:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195242 Good for AO5, but not https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195253 Modelling is useful for AO5, enabling students to see how an effective piece of writing is structured, what developed ideas look like etc. However, I don’t think it’s as useful for AO6 as you can model varied sentence types and ambitious vocabulary, but it’s futile if students can’t do those things in the first instance.]]> 2018-07-14 13:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195253 They see your thought process. Drawback is exposure - harder to model writing than reading https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195259 2018-07-14 13:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195259 Sometimes https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195268 2018-07-14 13:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195268 Sometimes pupils might end up copying my model or very closely follow it. But then I make them write their own to ensure they understand the process. https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195269 2018-07-14 13:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/p_miller1/m7uegf9bw09t/wish/270195269
