Melissa uses evidence from research, from her own practice, and that of colleagues to plan teaching and learning opportunities aimed at achieving the outcomes prioritised in the focusing inquiry. At this stage the students have identified their goals, yet they are still not fully aware of what they specifically need to learn to achieve these goals, other than the broad element of writing, as highlighted in the e-asTTle report.

Questions for teachers:
Melissa has used the Literacy Planner template, which emphasises teaching students the knowledge and skills required for using writing as a tool across the curriculum. She has created her Writing-in-Science-Interactive Planner - final (PDF 98KB) , which can be shared with other teachers in her team. She has identified the focus for the class and for groups of students.
