Turn the common student response 'Oh no, do we have to write a story?' into 'Can we do writing now?' with this jam-packed resource that makes teaching writing fun and easy.
Write with Purpose features a structured, sequenced model to teach all aspects of the writing process. Each of the six chapters explores one aspect of creative writing:
- Story starter ideas
- Research techniques
- Building shape and structure
- Consideration of audience and purpose
- Language features
- Reading, editing and publishing your own work
For upper primary and middle years students, this book uses a fun and games-based approach, shifting the focus from writing as a solo pursuit to collaborative tasks. The activities inspire students to invest in and develop their writing skills by providing an authentic purpose and audience.
