As the title says

This presentation is a short presentation that I create to deliver on whole staff inset. it takes you through the definitions of literacy and why it is important to all subjects. It also reassures staff that they will already have an element of literacy in their lessons as well as offering practical strategies for all subjects to incorporate.

In addition to this resource you will need some lego style building bricks. Slide 1 - Gets the discussion started in your classroom. Students should use the building blocks so that you can identify who is taking part in the classroom discussion. Slide 2 - This teaching slide uses animations to teach the fundamentals of writing to argue Slide 3 - This has a thinking image. The image aims to make students consider whether or not they're contradicting themselves.
