Using a blog in your quest to become a reflective practitioner is a wonderful model for both your students and fellow colleagues. With your permission, I would like to share your example with teachers involved in the IB programmes worldwide. Thank you, Lee Hi Kim,

These kids were then able to dictate their sentences to an adult scribe - the results from theses kids were promising as well :) When we were writing about the scenes, we all worked on the one screen at the same time. It was on the interactive whiteboard so everyone could see what was going on. We had all played the game previously (altogether on the whiteboard, and individually later and at home). There was lots of talk before during and after the writing - coming up with ideas, sharing, changing the order of the words to find the most appealing/effective way to get your message across. Hope this helps :) KimP Richard,

How do you think Samorost can be used with reluctant writers or writers who have poor ability? Some of the descriptions that your class have come up with are fantastic. Did you work through the programme together or just let them go one screen/puzzle at a time - then write a bit about it? Have really enjoyed reading your reviews and the individual stories from your class.
