Modeling for Teachers on Where the Wild Things Are

Children in Ross Langton's Year 1 class have already achieved 5 APS go on points in writing this class and are on course to exceed a class average of stratum 1a.  What is remarkable is that Ross is an NQT and approaching just his third terminal figure as a basic phase teacher.

On that point is no doubt that Sir James Clark Ros' achiever can be attributed to an outstanding INSET and mentoring syllabu and also working in a school where the culture is fully focused on great eruditeness for children.  Added to that, what is abundantly clear from walking into Nellie Tayloe Ros' classroom is the impact of Pie Corbett's Talk for Writing teaching tools on pupils' bed of and engagement in the craft of committal to writing.  From the displays of squeaky quality published composition around the room, to the photographs captured in pupils' books, literacy and writing is exciting stuff!

So what does this mean in practice?  What does it look look-alike?  And exactly, what is Ross doing in the classroom that is having such a dramatic impact on children's outcomes?  Outlined infra are some of the strategies staff at Rockliffe Manor Elementary school in Greenwich have taken on to secure all children make unpaid pass on, whilst underdeveloped a real number love of literacy.

1.  Immersion in a Text edition

At Rockliffe Manor, before children commence the writing process, they are weaving in and out of a text, painting or artefact to build confidence and familiarity:  exploring language, characters, feelings and emotions.  This takes the form of drama, role play and a range of games which wreak the narrative to life.

2.  Tarradiddle Mapping

Once children have connected emotionally with a text type, painting or artefact, they begin to map out the structure of their own intended writing in pictorial form.  This helps children relate with the key words, phrases, events and the shape of the text.  Children learn actions and movements that make over synergy between the language and emotion of the eruditeness.

3.  Deconstruction of the Schoolbook

Victimization the character's feelings and emotions as a stimulus, children begin to explore specific aspects of the text.  Fervid seating, moral sense alley, think, pair share, and other learning games are used to help children build their vocabulary, confidence and expertise in use of language.

4.  Teacher Modelling

After respective Roger Huntington Sessions where the children have real developed their understanding of a text type, school tex features and text language, the teacher models with the whole separate to co-create their own section(s) of writing.  Learning objectives are unencumbered and skills are taught progressively.

5.  Fisticuffs Improving

Before children piece their stories together, the class works to "box the story" as a room of organising thinking about their writing before they expound on all corner.

6.  Give it a try and Celebrate Success

For each aspect of teaching that is modelled, children have opportunities to grow their own words through penning.  Equally this happens, the instructor captures examples of choice, celebrates them and records them for others to purpose.  We call this the "swag bag" activeness.

7.  I Do, We Do, You Doctor of Osteopathy

Now that children induce worked through each stage of the writing processes, (I doh and we practice), in a safety, risk rich scaffolded surroundings, they are ready to exact the plunge and put out together their own creations.  The scaffolding and modelling continues for those pupils requiring more support and for those children who need less, they have been enabled to start their self-sufficient writing sooner.

8.  Publish!

It's hard to believe that the writing displayed below is really Year 1 writing. The of import to this success is promoting learning from a language rich and stimulating context, immersing children in the language of story, lots of model and scaffolding and ensuring quality is captured and celebrated at all times.
