My inquiry question: Will an integrated literacy programme with a focus on Learn, Create, Share accelerate the writing achievement of my target learners?
The Learn, Create, Share pedagogy was definitely strengthened in my practice this year. Reflecting back throughout this year, the students and I have been on a constant push to create and share DLOs about what we have been learning. There is still quite a bit of work to do with the quality of the create activities. The students are very camera why and would happily create posters, Google slides to share their learning. I have been encouraging them to create DLOs where they can be heard and seen presenting their learning so their audience can see their passion and excitement about their create activities.
I feel the integration of Reading and Writing together was a success. The learning activities and discussions were much more powerful. The quality of discussions were rich and this was evident through the responses of the students through their verbal discussion and their independent activities. I also noticed when the students had to present in front of an audience, they were confident to speak and present. The topics were learnt about this year were discussed and analysed from different perspectives. Through the supporting texts and challenging texts, I was exposing students to reflect and evaluate that they too can have a different perspective on topics not only in learning but in their lives. I believe this is a very important aspect of teaching. Teaching students that they too have opinions which matter.
Moving forward, I have been reflecting on student agency in their work. I feel this is an avenue I would like to look into next year. I also have identified I need to do more research in literature to inform decisions I make in my practice.
