Quick Writes in Room 9

This is an image of all the students in room 9 participating in a Quick Write. 

 Students were given a picture prompt and seven minutes to write. Once time is up there is an expectation that they read their writing to two people, preferably either side or in front of them (this minimises movement/chaos throughout the room), and then whomever is willing to share their writing to the whole class can.

I've had to restrict this to eight people each time, as there are many who are eager to share (which is awesome!). 

Room 9 has become used to the routine of the quick write. They respond to a range of different prompts - sentences, pictures, and words - and can usually produce writing of quite a high standard.

This doesn't always suit everybody - especially if they are having a bad day. I tend to do writing in the morning or middle blocks. 

I am planning some great picture prompts to do with Culture (for UOI6: Who We Are) and some fun ones when Halloween comes around.
