Preparing for coursework (creative or discursive writing)

This is intended for students who have already covered at least some of the skills and knowledge required - it’s a recap, and then guidance for students to generate the first ideas to take forward. All of the below can be easily adapted to suit your needs, different qualifications etc

The lesson covers:

• The National 5 Folio rubric
• A recap of creative and discursive writing
• Prompts to help students generate ideas
• Knowledge and terminology checks
• A timeline for the process

I’ve included a retrieval activity, learning intentions and a plenary exercise too.
