EMPLOY THE ‘READING LIKE A WRITER’ PROCESS
…where students see how authors craft their stories. Then students have a few short attempts at honing the technique before going on to their extended writing.
MODEL ‘GOOD WRITER’ MINI LESSONS
For example (in Yr 6 poetry), good writers:
- Observe the world closely to gather ideas for poems that convey feelings and images through poetic language.
- They experiment with different forms like Haiku and free verse, employing rich imagery and emotional depth.
- They revise rigorously, removing unnecessary words, and pay attention to presentation, utilising white space and line breaks effectively.
