I joined the webinar and found that there was more to this inquiry than I first thought. However, it dis allow me to think about the question in relation to the literature review that we just completed. I think that our focus can be around boys' writing in year 5 as this is the group that is hardest to shift. I think doing a questionnaire with the boys will also help. The PD I did yesterday with the literacy progressions gave me good questions to ask so the two fit nicely.
