Hinweis der Redaktion
What nurtures a love of writing? Discuss how blogging initially ticked all the boxes for you to develop chn’s attitudes to writing, but:
Took time
Had to moderate (maybe use Simon’s “having a meal with Toni and his phone keeps beeping – due to email notifications as a new comment is awaiting moderation!)
Had to try and provide audience
It was great at enaging children but sometimes turned into a chatroom!
The 3 main aims of the LMYL website:
Discover – model texts, new text type ideas
Share – Publishing work onto the website for our global community to read, enjoy and comment on
Inspire – Children see their work published to the world
Free Teaching resource over 4500 (6.11.14) free texts to use. Easy to use them as a whole class annotation activity.
You will show them how to search for specific texts later on – it’s so simple.
