While again, the reading programme in my class has not gone to plan, which seems to be a theme this term, I have had time to reflect and decide on how I would like my literacy to look.
Until now, my reading and writing have had different blocks allocated. This term this has been due to the fact we have been doing speeches, however in the near future (next week) I will be combining the two as was in the example timetables. This means swapping maths out of the first (and only) 90 minute block and timetabling literacy into that spot Monday-Thursday.
Secondly, I will be giving the students more empowerment, allowing them to make choices. While I do plan for this usually, it isn't consistent.
I also created a tracking sheet, digitally, for the class to access. The feedback from this is that they have a great deal of pleasure from completing and linking their work. This will definitely be something I continue with, consistently!
I have discussed this with my mentor teacher, and she is looking forward to seeing this plan in action to see how it goes.
