Literacy ** Tools utilised ** ... Flip videos,ultranet and digital cameras Having only recently started a new writing topic (procedures) and in keeping with the new assessment method - I videoed the students giving feedback to each other about what was good about their writing and what they needed to improve on. the students outlined the feedback that they had received and their next learning steps. These videos to then go onto a class ultranet. The students responded really well to peer feedback and were eager to go back and improve their writing based on what their buddy suggested. The next step in this process is to film their attempts of their procedure which will be used to show them at teh end of the topic. The kids were receptive and constructive in their feedback and wanted to document it through video. ** Link ** : ||

 * Curriculum Area ** : Reading
 * Purpose ** : Reading to learn, Comprehension - extension groups
