I brought this up again at my inquiry meeting today and the year 1-6 teachers felt that grammar played a large part in this. They found that the students used the language of the playground more than academic language and that this left them unable to write coherent and grammatically correct sentences. I wonder if this academic and 'learning language' becomes increasingly important throughout intermediate and high school.Danni Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470833379829179523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627087616094510609.post-84601708092964695672018-02-27T13:06:27.838+13:002018-02-27T13:06:27.838+13:00Delighted to see the responses you have had today ...Delighted to see the responses you have had today from your deep delve Danni. I think you have some great starting points here.<br />I was interested by your statement "I looked into the sentence structure problem to see what we had been doing to teach it. I found that it was a prominent learning intention from years four to eight. Therefore, we primary and intermediate teachers are looking at it, but it is not sticking with the students. "<br />I would recommend you investigate this further. Does something being a 'prominent learning intention' automatically translate into effective teaching and learning?Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878032140647205425noreply@blogger.com
