Marina worked on multiplication practice with her Year 6 student, ensuring they had opportunities to revise strategies and apply them to a range of problems. After completing the maths component, they continued with English, focusing on persuasive writing. Marina broke down the planning steps clearly and modelled how to draft the text, guiding the student through organising ideas and strengthening their arguments. She thoroughly explained the structure of effective persuasive paragraphs and discussed the importance of using more complex vocabulary to enhance the writing. Throughout the drafting process, Marina also addressed spelling, as the student made a few errors. She reviewed and corrected these words carefully, using each mistake as an additional practice opportunity. This approach helped reinforce accuracy while supporting the student’s overall writing development.
