Writing Activities are the core of Scribo
Scribo works on Writing Activities. An Activity is a context in which students work.
A writing activity in Scribo is a 'context' in which teachers and students come together to improve writing.
Write an essay on "The Spanish Flu".
Write an essay on "The Life of Pi and how a story can carry such intensity and sadness".
There are no limits on writing topics and interests. One thing is certain though – the objective of each sentence is to make you want to read the next one.
Writing is arguably the single most important skill a person can have after the ability to read.
EVERY Writing Activity in Scribo supports teachers by building a CONTEXT they want to achieve or deliver. The CONTEXT drives the learning intention, the interaction with students and lays the foundation for teachers to complete the job they set out to do.
The CONTEXT of an Activity in Scribo defines parameters of engagement around:
The expectation of targets, type and style
How it is planned to be used – formative or summative
How it will be supported with resources and scaffolds
How students engage in writing – integrated or solo, Google or Cold Writing?
How feedback will work – revisions, live monitoring
How collaboration inside the cohort will work
How it is graded and how feedback is handed back
How it is analysed to identify growth and target specific skill gaps
The pedagogical objectives behind Planning and Organising Writing
Allow pupils to express themselves in a variety of writing styles
Help and encourage students to plan their writing
Give students more ownership in their writing
Guide idea generation, development, organization
Accommodate different thinking and learning styles
Differentiate support for students with varied scaffolds and guidance
Planning, reviewing and revision are recurrent processes when creating texts
