Too often we hear about struggling writers, particularly our boys. How do you engage and motivate your learners to write?
In my writing programme I make a deliberate effort to create structure and provide a pathway for students to follow in order for them to the steps writers take in order to complete a piece of writing. In doing this, students have clarity around what they need to do which helps set them up to have the best opportunity for success.
Additionally, I make the effort to engage learners by choosing topics and contexts that are relevant and have a purpose. For example, to begin this Term we have been writing about our holiday experiences, which all students can see the relevance of.
