| Description | (May 2009) This unit offers a basis for discussion and the development of a portfolio approach to senior writing. These are initial steps towards a more open, but rigorous approach. We are discussing the idea that a student’s portfolio will accompany them through their English classes and become a cache to draw on. Some of the teaching materials at Level 3 are referred to as examples of ways of working. As well some of the adaptations are included.In implementing the new curriculum, “the change is as much about reviewing how we teach as what we teach” (Rosemary Hipkins). This unit is very much a work in progress. It will be re-shaped again this year, but the concept of wider student exploration of writing and more choice over assessment pieces is seen as important.
