So What? What next?
There is always a group of students with difficulty hearing and understanding the needs for editing and recrafting. I am constantly asking students to 'read your story out loud'. Perfect opportunity for them to have their writing read aloud to them. Then they could then attempt recrafting. This means I need to give more opportunities for students to write straight into docs rather than writing books.
One group a week could be timetabled to write their story directly into doc. Can we provide more opportunities for 'free' writing?
