The Whole Process

Year 4 students at St Aloysius Primary went through three important stages of the writing process - pre-writing, drafting and editing - when asked to design their dream bedroom.  Pictures of bedroom furniture were pasted on to a handout to create the students' dream bedrooms. This activity acted as a stepping stone for the actual writing task, which required students to write about their pictures.  Editing followed.  The children read their extracts to each other, and had to draw what their partners were describing.  Unclear instructions meant that more detail was necessary.
