During our writing sessions we have been focussing on our editing skills. We have developed a range of symbols to help us improve our writing. This week we have written Cinquain poems. We used our highlighters and pens to take a pit stop to proofread and recraft our writing. Check out some of our improvements:
Jellyfish
Jiggly, deadly
Pouncing, infecting, killing
Drifting through the glistening sea
Jellies
Tigers
Majestic, camouflaged
Hunting, prowling, chuffing
Viciously stalking its prey
Cat
Harry
Talented, Wizard
Flying, adventuring, duelling
Battling the evil Voldemort
Potter
Coconut
Rough, hazel
Hanging, falling, dropping
Slowly gushing tropical liquid
Milk
What are some of the types of proofreading and recrafting you can see above? e.g. highlighting capital letters
Re crafting that I use is underlining, highlighting, crossing out and many more.
ReplyDeleteSome recrafting I know is putting crosses above words I think are spelt wrong, crossing words out when I know they are spelt wrong, highlighting letters that are meant to be capitals and then changing them with a pen, and many more strategies.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I especially liked the Harry Potter one.

I think the poems that we were doing was really helpful because it helped us understand about the characters and animals because if we knew some things about them then we can remember everything about them.
