As a class we are going to be doing The Big Write more often, hopefully weekly or fortnightly. Not all of these Big Write sessions will be assessment across Year 6, a lot of them will be a weekly writing/practice activity.
Today we started researching someone that we feel is the most influential to a field that we like e.g. Michael Jordan with basketball, Aldolf Hitler in history, Albert Einstein with new discoveries, etc.
Students were given a full session to research and plan their persuasive letters. Anything they haven't done in this session will be homework over the next week. It is expected that students discuss the topic with each other and their parents. This could be in the mornings before school, on the walk/drive home from school, over dinner, etc. It does not have to be a huge homework task, but if students haven't finished their plans in the given time it is very important they finish them tonight or over the weekend so they are prepared.
Students will be writing NEXT THURSDAY! So please don't forget and well done on your amazing efforts in the Big Write that was held today about whether Australia Day should be on the 26th January.
I can't wait to read all your amazing letters next week!
