Ok, so I have thought about what I would like my goal to be for this term.  As we still have this big focus on writing, I thought it would be interesting to compare two classes and their attitudes to writing - especially for an audience.  I would like to see if the children’s like/dislike of writing changes when they know that there is an audience of people outside of their classroom - particularly their teacher - reading their writing, if they enjoy it more, put more effort into it and if their overall attitude improves.

In order to do this, I will survey a class of children (yr 5 and 6) about their attitudes towards writing (similar to the one they have already done) but include a few questions about audience and the perceived audience.  I will then ensure, with the help of the classroom teacher, that they continue to blog regularly (if not daily) throughout the term.  At the end of the term I will survey the children again and see if their attitudes have changed either negatively or positively.
