Helping students turn understanding into clear expression
Helping students turn understanding into clear expression
Some students need support making sense of a text; others know what they want to say but struggle to organise it. Lessons can move between comprehension, language, planning and feedback according to the work in front of the learner.
- Understand texts
Pause over meaning, evidence and ideas before moving to a response.
- Shape ideas
Talk through a line of thought and turn it into clear written communication.
- Improve structure
Plan and organise writing so each point contributes to the whole response.
- Think independently
Build the confidence to form and explain an interpretation in the student’s own words.
