Cameo Lesson

 We explore Cameos of published author's works. In this case we looked at an excerpt from Gavin Bishop's book Piano Rock. We highlighted all the powerful vocabulary and then wrote our own recount about waking up in the morning.

 

I share with the students the Task, Learning Intention, Success Criteria and have space for me to write feedback during the independent writing time.

After writing, I look at their work and highlight Gold for Glory, which in this case is the powerful verbs and adjectives they used, Pink for Think, which are errors and Blue for DO, which is where they can re-write the incorrect words or sentences.

In the bubbles I explain what is wrong and offer ideas to make their writing better. They get ten minutes at the start of the next lesson to make the changes and share with their buddy.
