KS3 Writing Skills lessons

How do you explain what a complex sentence is in a memorable way?
A full set of lessons focussing heavily on the basic technical writing skills with stretch and challenge tasks. Lessons move into a focus on writing with “flair” where students consider how to show, not tell through the use of literary devices. A really solid refresher or entry into improving writing skills for the demands of SPAG and AO5 as they work towards GCSE. A range of my KS3 classes have loved these.
