This set of three stand-alone learning sequences focus on enabling pupils to identifying key features of common text types (letter/newspaper article/instructional writing) and then producing their texts according to these features.
Each text type begins by first exploring the common structure/language used and then guide learners through the process of producing their own texts. It is useful for encouraging pupils to produce their own pieces of extended writing according to a particular brief.
