Loved using writing examples of other children from @HeyPobble to model persuasive arguments this morning. Also using @janeconsidine sentence stacking to develop some amazing paragraphs!

Proud teacher moment! I wanted to share this piece of work, as the structural and grammatical understanding is, in my opinion, brilliant. With a big focus on editing and improving work, I look forward to the final piece. @educatorabroad , what do you think? 🖊
