Writing

This term we will be focusing on Transactional Writing forms. Below is a wee statement on why we think Transactional writing is an important part of our class programme.

Soon we will start working on our first written piece that will link to our "Sustainability" big idea. As we work through this you will begin to see just how powerful the focus on self/peer assessment is. Sometimes we have to work, rework and work again on a piece of writing so we can recognize quickly what the criteria requires. Good work takes TIME!

Transactional Writing: Explanation and Argument

The aim in focusing students on powerful forms of transactional writing such as explanation and argument is to achieve a better balance with narrative writing. Explanation and argument become increasingly important forms of writing as students progress through the education system and into the workforce.
