• The purpose for writing needs to be authentic
• The types of writing we want students to do in our class should be explicitly taught, according to the writing demands of our subject
• Real writing tasks are those which involve the students thinking and making meaning for themselves
Key Messages
![Page 4: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Subject-Specific Literacy Demands
23 September 2019This is the slide footer and goes here6
“The idea is not that content-area teachers should become reading and writing teachers, but rather that they should emphasize the reading and writing practices that are specific to their subjects, so students are encouraged to read and write like historians, scientists, mathematicians, and other subject-area experts.”
(Biancarosa & Snow, 2004)

Provide Support At Every Stage
7
Provide the necessary amount of support in each phase to help students reach the phase’s objectives.
“Feedback is among the most powerful moderators of learning”
(Hattie, 2012)

Scaffolding Writing
23 September 2019This is the slide footer and goes here10
A variety of supportive instructional strategies used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and greater independence in their writing. Like physical scaffolding, the supportive techniques are incrementally removed when no longer needed, shifting more responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student.
There are four stages in this method:
1. Building knowledge of the topic
2. Modelling the text type
3. Joint construction
4. Independent writing
![Page 11: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Gradual Release of Responsibility
23 September 2019This is the slide footer and goes here11
![Page 12: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The aim here is to build up background knowledge so focus is primarily on content and the academic language required for the task
This stage involves the processes of planning and translating, involving strategies that use speaking, listening, reading, research, note taking skills, brainstorming, activation of prior knowledge, etc.
Stage One: Building Knowledge of the Topic
![Page 13: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• What to write• How to start• How to revise and edit• How to choose relevant information• How to present information and ideas• Use of word banks, wall charts etc.• How to experiment with writing
Stage Two: Modelling the Text
![Page 14: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Students give suggestions / contribute ideas while the teacher scribes, and together the teacher and students discuss how the writing can be improved
• Teacher and students discuss the structure, more appropriate vocabulary, consider alternative ways of wording and focus on language accuracy
“The joint construction stage is teacher-guided, it should not be seen as teacher dominated” (Pauline Gibbons)
Stage Three: Joint Construction
![Page 15: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Generating Ideas (Prewriting)
06 May 2019This is the slide footer and goes here15
allow students to
• formulate their ideas,
• research,
• generate and clarify concepts,
• determine purpose,
• determine audience,
• create a record of ideas,
• decide what ideas to use,
• organise writing structure. .

Collaboration
“What they can do collaboratively today
becomes what they can do independently
tomorrow.”(Lewis & Wray, 2000)
![Page 18: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Students write their own texts, individually or in pairs
• As students write, remind them about the process of writing, first draft, self-editing, feedback, redrafting, final text
• Students write a first draft and proof read / check it with their partner
• Final draft is written for an audience (publish / present)
Stage Four: Independent writing
![Page 19: Scaffolding to Support Students’ Development of Writing in … to Support Student… · Scaffolding Writing 23 September 2019 10 This is the slide footer and goes here A variety](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9fcc41bbaff838830cf986/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Helps students to think individually about a topic with an aim to learning effectively
Teaches students to share ideas and be a vocal asset to the classroom hence building communication skills
Focuses attention and engages students
Think- Pair- Share

Formation:
Lines of weakness such as faults occur in headlands
Abrasion and hydraulic action erode the fault to form
a cave
The cave is widened and deepened
The sea cuts through to form an arch
The sea erodes the foot of the arch and widens it
The roof of the arch becomes too heavy and collapses
Part of the former cliff is now isolated as a stack
Over time the stack is undercut and collapses
A stump is the remains of the eroded stack

Tiered Instruction
• All students focus on the skills of common core but at different levels of complexity.
• Keeping the focus of the activity the same, but providing routes of access at varying degrees of difficulty will maximize each student being challenged.

Tiered Instruction Example
Students are to understand the effect of global warming.
Tier 1Students create an outline for a tv advert announcement using slogans, infographsand/or art to convey why global warming is a problem and how people can try to prevent it.
Tier 2Students conduct a survey of student understanding of global warming. They decide on questions, design questionnaires, and report their results using infographs or charts.
Tier 3Students debate the issue about global warming, using credible evidence to support their arguments, and refute those of the other team.

Bloom’s Taxonomy
39
• Use for examining and differentiating the challenge levels of learning tasks and discussion questions in all subjects.
• Enables the teacher to look at instruction through the lens of challenge.
• Enables the teacher to categorise activities and questions by level of complexity, ensuring that a wider range of higher-order thinking challenges are provided to students.

Topic: Global Warming
Creating: Can I devise ways to reduce Global Warming’s Impact?
Evaluating: Have industries been successful in reducing their impact?
Analysing: How can nations reduce their impacts on global warming?
Applying: If temperatures continue to rise, what effects will we experience?
Understanding: How does global warming occur?
Remembering: What is the definition of global warming?

Large Scale Revision - Self Evaluation
46
During large-scale revision, students revisit their text, evaluating
● if it’s on topic, ● If it’s high quality,● whether it communicates effectively.● whether it’s fully developed and ● whether it's properly structured.
