GOALS 1&3
**__“Boys as Successful Writers”__** Context: Written and oral language Intentions: To raise the standard of writing success with students who were at risk. Links to classroom practice: Literacy intervention programme through the MOE Interventions: Literacy programme of working effectively in small groups and bringing in community elders, whānau, local radio station technicians, visiting local museum to influence and encourage communication skills. Impact on students: Self-esteem was increased by the realisation that they could write and raised their mana amongst their peers and community. Now they are promoting and producing good writing within their own class. One comment made by a student following the initiative, “ I moved myself from my class writing group because they weren’t taking writing seriously”. Student voice/reflections: Daily reflective journals on achievements and where to next with teacher input as appropriate. Students challenging and reflecting on their own creative ideas, ability and mechanics and techniques of good writing. * **These are a collection of audio stories as a result of the writing intervention programme:**  [|Track01.cda] [|Track02.cda] [|Track03.cda] [|Track04.cda] ||

> __**Reflection**__ Children enjoyed the experience of working outside the classroom through another media. The access to an expert was certainly a plus, children for the most part were engaged in the project.
 * __**Students are engaging in collaborative projects within and beyond the classroom(online inquiry)**__

 * There were, however, difficulties which would need to be overcome when it is attempted again e.g. the dropping out of the feed was frustrating.
