This powerpoint presentation is beautifully illustrated and very engaging for the students. This presentation focuses on the students being able to use a variety of sentence structures for differing purposes through structured exercises. This of course helps in the development of their writing skills but also empowers them to identify these elements in the work of other authors. A critical exam skill.

A teacher led lesson that focuses on timed writing exercises. This skills based lesson improves handwriting speed and empowers the students to work creatively. This presentation also focuses on the importance of proof reading and uses peer mentoring to measure the impact and effectiveness of the writing produced. I have used this lesson many times successfully.
