Karen Lintin, Feltham Hill Junior School, Hounslow shares her action research project undertaken Easter term 2006.
Children, particularly boys in my class were under-achieving in writing. They did not enjoy writing creatively and produced writing that was not very imaginative. I decided to focus on a mixed group of these 9 and 10-year-old under-achievers to trial the strategies to be implemented.
Questionnaires were given to the target children to assess their opinions of writing. These showed that most did not enjoy writing. None of the children enjoyed imaginative writing. Some enjoyed writing factual pieces of writing. None of the children were proud of their work. The only writing that the children complete out of school is homework. Overall the questionnaire showed that the children had very negative views towards writing. |
