For P 7V - Update of 2 stars and 1 wish (comments included)!

Here is one example of the children's self-made worksheets. They use these to assess their own, and each others' writing. They know to add 2 'star' comments (things that have been done well) and they then add a 'wish' for the future......how could the writing be even better?

Kim said .... Your writing assessment worksheet looks really interesting. What sort of "star" comments do you use? Do you think that this sort of assessment sheet helps you to focus on the areas you need to work on in your writing? How helpful/useful is it? I'm interested because my class need some help in "polishing" their writing, before they publish.Thanks

Hello Kim,

Thank you so much for visiting our blog .... and thank you for taking the time to write a comment. It's quite new for us to comment on each others' writing but we're trying to learn to appreciate the good things - the 'star qualities'.
We're also learning to comment on what can be improved, but are trying to not hurt others' feelings - the 'wish for the future'.
We want to encourage each other to write so we always have 2 stars and only 1 wish ... does this help answer your question?
We're not sure yet how much of a difference it will make ........

Hello P7V
It seems both classes will be able to try out commenting on our classmates writing. It will help both the commenter and the commentee (is there such a word) to look closely at their writing and discuss the positives and wish. My class are looking forward to designing a comment sheet using your 2 stars and a wish. We will post it when we get it up and running!
