As today is the last day of term, I asked the kids to reflect on their English Journey this year with me. Technical Noob glitch meant that I've deleted the voice recording that I took, so hopefully I remember everything they said!
Creative Writing
They like the freedom of choice
They liked the feedback - that helped them to find their errors and fix them so that they could make the necessary changes.
Formal Writing
They want more freedom of choice
They found it difficult to write formally because they're not used to speaking formally. Perhaps bringing in a DP or BRK would help to have them practise formal speaking.
The feedback was confusing. They want it in student speak and easier to understand.
Static Image
They liked this. Some have difficulties with expressing emotion on the page.
They want specific instructions and know exactly what they have to put in the static images - like how BIC teaches art.
They liked the feedback that they receieved - they could understand this.
Night
Found it easy to read
Found it easy to know the themes but hard to find the examples in the text
Would rather have more group activities
Would rather have individual activities
Found it hard to relate to
Wanted more on author's purpose before exams
Freedom Writers
Majority really enjoyed this
Needed more time on language features and director's purpose - maybe better in a longer term with more time available
Wanted more on director's purpose before exams
