Exceptional Explanations

Many students have completed an explanation on an environmental concern. They have done a great deal of work and are working extremely hard.

Students have:

• Studied, discussed and deconstructed explanations.
• Co-constructed and discussed the criteria for an effective explanation.
• Listened to and explored a range of explanations.
• Had a number of clinics and conferences, creating next steps.
• Criteria assessed their own work.
• Received feedback from teachers and peers
• Fed back on the work of others in order to strengthen their understanding of an effective explanation and support their peers
• Actively sort out feedback from a range of people including parents.
• Proof-read and published.

Within the literacy programme, They have also been reading, debating, constructing, experimenting, explaining phenomena, researching, critical thinking and generally being awesome!
