LWICT at GSC

I am continuing to work with English staff and the year 10s. Jeff has had the students comment on each other’s blogs which is great. Jeff has found it difficult to find time to comment on student blogs. We discussed at length problems that could arise from only commenting on a few blogs. I am concerned about the parent that presents the question of why one student gets help but not the other. Jeff also expressed concern. Perhaps blogs are not a good idea for such large classes. We are going to investigate the topic further next week.

Marie’s class is going great. They have finished the character descriptions and are moving on to point of view. We have discussed using inspiration for the students to outline an essay. Marie really liked what she saw in Inspiration. The plan is Friday finish point of view and setting. Next week to move on to Inspiration planning of the essay. Marie’s goal is to write one comment per student. She is also concerned about the time element with comments.
