In the 'P.I.T.', we've been busy peer and self assessing our Magic Box stories. Danni's
review of her own story is just great - she is so pleased with her effort (and so am I!). She wrote most of her story on paper first and then typed it up on her wikispace page. The only trouble is that her story is about 8 pages long, so she didn't have time to transfer it all .... but she'd love some comments on what she's made public so far!
I love the way that Lisa explains in her self-evaluation that, as she re-read her story, she tried to put herself in a 'geovisitor's' shoes ........ :) What a great idea!
Josh is really pleased with his effort. He says that he worked really hard with his writing partners to fix the spelling and punctuation to make it eaier for the reader to follow. He loves to play computer games, and has made some of his favourite characters 'come alive' in his story.
A Wikispace Experiment!
The History Button
Earlier today Jamie's story read like this. I made some minor 'secretarial' changes. It now looks like this. The changes are very small, but if Jamie was to click on his history tab on the top of his wikispace page, he'd be able to see some small changes (the odd capital letter replacing lower case, a missing comma added, etc.) to his great story.

What a great way of getting kids to improve their stories. We hope to find time to post comments on your work sometime this week.
We have just started our own writing blog -

We would love to have some 2 stars and a wish style feedback from you!
This is a very good way to use wikispaces and for children to improve writing. Do you get as much access to computers as you need?
