Writing - Student Agency

Writing / Agency -using a variety of tools and genre

On the day of our Slipper Party reward we brainstormed words to describe their slippers

The children worked with a buddy to think of a simile and I wrote these up as they shared them.

They also drew replicas of their slippers

Over the last two weeks the children have been able to choose to write about their slippers

They have been able to use the i-pad or paper and felts or their writing book.

They have been able to work alone and with each other

The children also expressed their ideas using a variety of genere, some wrote poems, some recounts and some descriptions

Having the list of words and the similes on display as supported them with doing this..

Providing the children with a range of choices has enabled them to use their agency and select medium they feel motivated to use.
Approximately a third of the class engaged in slipper writing.  

 What now -   How to make it more appealing so more of the children engage in this?
I would like to provide a greater range of choices, ideas etc
