This term we have introduced Big Talk as a focus within Literacy. This is linked to Big Writing and Questioning. We were given a homework task to discuss within someone at home that related to what we were going to write about in big Writing. For example we talked about our school show and the time we spent with Ellen from Pop Uk.

Talking about our writing at home helped us to come up with good idea, WOW words and really improved our writing.

Elise  – I think big Talk helped improve my writing because I already had an idea in my head of what I was going to write.

Abbie – Big Talked helped me because talking about it at home made it easier for me to come up with ideas.
