I like the fact that it can be directed and altered to the needs of children with EAL for example and specifically I like the fact that it can not only be done as a whole class but also as a smaller group to really encourage all the children in building their confidence when discussing the issues around writing such as their SPAG or their vocabulary. I really liked the fact that the teacher got into role which is a great way in to the children in developing their imaginations etc (as discussed in lecture) however I felt that she should have come out of character so to speak when she began altering the short passage on the interactive whiteboard with the children as she was then the actual teacher and not the 'news reporter'.

Thanks for your response to this. I agree that it is important to clearly signal when you are in and out of role so the children are clear what is happening. ]]> 2017-12-07 19:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jo_barter_boulton/x20gevrjhfkq/wish/214306193
