  • Listes de vérification des compétences : Une section d’évaluation plus formelle vous permet de cocher les compétences essentielles en écriture telles que la ponctuation, la capitalisation, l’orthographe, les conjugaisons grammaticales, l’utilisation des mots de transition, et l’écriture sensorielle détaillée.

Pourquoi utiliser cette ressource ?

  • Évaluer les capacités des élèves dès le début : Au cours de ces deux jours, vos élèves vous présenteront leur meilleur travail, vous fournissant des informations précieuses sur leurs points forts et leurs domaines d’amélioration.
  • Favoriser l’engagement actif : Grâce à des occasions d’apprentissage modélisé, de pratique guidée et d’écriture indépendante, vos élèves se sentiront soutenus et motivés à donner le meilleur d’eux-mêmes.
  • Planifier avec intention : Utilisez les données recueillies pour informer vos stratégies d’enseignement, jumeler les élèves efficacement, et faire des progrès significatifs dès le premier jour.

Cette ressource gratuite ne vous offre pas seulement un outil diagnostique efficace, elle donne également un ton positif pour l’année scolaire. Voyez vos élèves s’épanouir en écrivant sur leurs moments d’été les plus mémorables, et utilisez les informations recueillies pour adapter votre enseignement à leurs besoins !
