The literacy team will focus on specific writing text types each term in 2011, building on exploration of the text type with the whole staff the prior term. Term 1 will focus on persuasive writing, term 2 on descriptive writing, term 3 on poetry, and term 4 on information reports. The team will base their understanding of text types on those listed in "Jenny Eather's, Writing is Fun". When meeting with Andrea Hillbrick, the focus will shift from lesson observation to planning with their team. Teachers will display success criteria and have students set their own writing goals.
