Please note that this product is not available for purchase from Bloomsbury websites.
Description
- Can teach writing as part of the whole curriculum and as a component of pupils' linguistic development
- Can teach writing as a process rather than just a product - the process includes: finding ideas, designing briefs, drafting, revising, polishing and presenting
- Use assessment as part of a cycle to improve pupils' learning and the teacher's planning
