“Ko Whangakopoikipiko ahau. Ko tenei taku pūrakau.” “I am Whangakopikipiko. This is my story.”Writing, writing and writing! We used the pen and paper method with one student exception. Des and I discussed whether the writers should go straight to the computer and write as he had modelled or if they should write with pen and paper . Pen and paper was decided upon so that we could capture the flow of ideas.
Today was to be our first CORE day! Not only were the students excited about being writers, they were awe struck at being captured on film! So exciting but so nerve racking!
The CORE Team of Jed and Jenny arrived this afternoon. The film team and the participating teacher spent time discussing the type of shots that the film team wanted
to shoot and to plan interviews with Des and our Waiotahe Valley School Literacy Leader , Louise Larsen to document the process.The students continued with their writing and were beginning their initial interviews with Des as they finalised their first drafts. Des gave the students specific, detailed advice and constructive criticism and set them off on their revised versions.
