Activity:

Remember that your booklet is a planning/drafting booklet. You can rewrite, make mistakes and make changes in this book.

Students are encouraged to do some self editing and proofreading and possibly receive some feedback from Mum/Dad. A gentle reminder about how our growth mindset allows us to take on feedback may help your child be more willing to receive feedback.

Students are asked to look at the following to improve their writing..

• Can you rewrite sentences to make them more interesting

• Can you add come better words to your sentences

• Can you add pictures to help explain your writing better.

• Sketch possible pictures they may want to use in their ‘published copy’.
