Annual Student Writers’ Display
Encouraging writing by publishing and promoting the reading of student authored stories in the library.

Kira, Patrick, Ashton and Gargee proudly display their books
Students develop a stronger sense of themselves as writers when they have opportunities to publish their work for a genuine audience. For the second year running, we are holding a Student Writers’ Display’ from Week 8 till the end of week 10 in the library. 
Parents are welcome to drop in and see the display.
Students from years R-3 have an opportunity to publish both fiction and nonfiction texts for others to enjoy. In this second year we can already see the improvement in students’ writing as they produce books that are highly polished.
This year students will be able to nominate their favourite fiction and nonfiction book and go into the draw for a special prize at the last assembly for the term. When nominating these books students need to rate how well the author of fiction texts:
• Produced an engaging sizzling start that made them want to read it.
• Developed a clear orientation and complication, with a resolution that made sense.
• Developed characters and described, them with lots of ‘showing not telling.’ 
• Used dialogue in the story that was well written and helped them to follow the plot.
• Correctly used grammar, spelling and punctuation and edited their work carefully.

When nominating nonfiction books students have to rate how well the author:
​
• Gave the book a very clear and easy to read structure.
• Provided information in paragraphs, which started with topic sentences.
• Used headings and subheadings to make it easy to find information
• Provided Diagrams and drawings to give extra information about the topic.

When the ‘Writers’ Display’ finishes the student books will join our library’s growing "Student Author" section. This permanent part of our library collection allows students to read each other’s stories and encourages them to submit their own writing, in book form, when it is edited and polished. In this way students can learn from each other.
