Opotiki College, Day Four

This day was spent working enthusiastically on our projects. Des and I spent the time working with students through the drafting and revising stage of their work. This is a part of the process that is fairly new to students. Most have not reworked a piece of writing so many times and in such depth before and they are really benefiting from the amount of feedback that Des and I am giving. I appreciate having the time as it is definitely more than I would usually be able to give in the limited time of a normal timetabled class. Des has commented that many of these students are very good writers and this has been a real confidence boost for them.
