The staff at Melrose Primary School work collaboratively within their team, to plan the weekly lesson content for reading and writing.
Weekly planning is supported by Integrated Literacy Units of Work, aligned to the Whole School Literacy Scope and Sequence and is mapped to the Victorian Curriculum.

lesson structure
Our Writing Instructional Model was collaboratively developed by the staff at Melrose Primary School and is delivered consistently across the school from F-6.
Students across the school participate in daily writing lessons that encompass a mini lesson, 1st work time, catch, 2nd work time and a reflection.
In 1st work time, students complete a writing task that relates to the explicit content that has been taught.
2nd task time is an opportunity for students to:
a) Continue on with their work from 1st task time if it is not completed or
b) Have choice and agency and complete writing in their writer's notebook.
High Impact Teaching strategies and the Gradual Release of Responsibility are key features of the model.

writing conferences
During 1st work time, the staff at Melrose are committed to conducting individual writing conferences with students. Conferencing enables teachers to formatively assess and understand who their students are as writers and to support students to identify, set and monitor their writing goals. It is an expectation that staff are recording their conference notes and are prepared to share, moderate and refine their conferencing in future professional learning sessions.
