Co-constructing writing process

I thought it was really important to co-construct the writing process with Pot of Gold.

First, I posed the question: "What do good writers do?"
Students listed off many valuable aspects such as:

• Good vocabulary
• Adjectives/verbs
• Language features eg - similes, personification, onomatopoeia, alliteration
• Paragraphs

It was interesting that students did not mention re-crafting.

We then led the discussion to the process that writers go through. We had a rich discussion for each - and made sure we added detail to each stage. 

Here is the finished product.
