This is a Literacy Tube Map I created to help pupils develop their extended writing. The different tube lines are specific to various conjunctions, which pupils will be familiar with from year 7 onwards. I distribute these when pupils are due to complete a piece of extended writing; can allow differentiation to occur in your lesson, for example, if you have a pupil who regularly fails to include a conclusion you can tell them to focus on the green line specifically for their target.

I have adapted my Literacy Tube Map to create a Keyword Map, which aims to eradicate spelling mistakes of keywords in various topics covered throughout the year. This particular map is for my Year 7 pupils who will, at some point, study each of the topics, for example, Medieval England, Tudors, and the English Civil War. I find that throughout the year I am regularly circling the same keywords in pupils books, so I introduced this to their books, which they can use every lesson throughout the year to allow them to learn to spell keywords correctly so we can spend more time on developing skills rather than SPaG.
