In this topic, I bring pedagogy to life using real examples from real students.
I’ll deep dive into all three areas of writing for the 11+ exams including story writing, descriptive writing and persuasive writing.
Using real student examples, and no waffle- guaranteed, I will give you a clear vision of where you need to take your students in their writing and how to get there.
I’ll be taking you through my flowchart of how to gauge current skills, developing them using a range of teaching techniques and staying focused on the checklist of assessment areas for the exams.
