One thing that all of my students do well is follow directions. All of the students were asked to illustrate whether they were taller, the same size as or smaller than our classroom's "giant pencil". My students were all somewhat detailed, including both themselves and the pencils in their illustration. By doing this, students are showing that they are on topic. Another thing that two of my students did well was try to form a sentence for their illustration. Both of these sentences show proper writing conventions (left to right). Students were asked to try to spell the best they could and to use their sight words to form this sentence. The third student, although she attempted to show me that she was taller than the pencil, followed directions carefully when she wrote her name and the date at the top of her paper.
My students also showed me that they can use a combination of drawing and writing to create a writing piece.
The illustrations that my students use are really able to covey their ability and their level of comprehension of the activity. The illustrations are also accurate and detailed enough for a "reader" who was just looking at the illustration, would understand what my students were attempting to convey.
I will develop my students abilities to use "two finger spacing", punctuation and generally just asking them to write more. I will also work on how we can make our illustrations detailed enough to help tell our story (like making sure if you say you're taller than the pencil, your illustration shows you're taller than the pencil).
This student said that she was "taller than the pencil."
