Trainee teachers often struggle to see the opportunities for meaningful writing in the curriculum. How do they find examples of lessons that encourage purposeful writing across all curriculum areas? This book provides them. It takes exemplar lessons and offers them alongside a detailed exploration of what makes them good, and the theory behind them. The text encourages trainees to consider the teaching of writing critically and to envisage how they can shape lessons for their own teaching.
Through teaching fabulous lessons teachers can help children to discover stories, create worlds, record events, mould characters and inspire each other as writers. This book provides the guidance and examples to help achieve this.
