Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold
Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting.
Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 1/2 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)

This stimulating and informative lesson develops students’ skill in creating emails that precisely meet the needs of their audience and purpose. In particular, they gain an in-depth understanding of how emails should be structured, what information should be included within them, and what style they should be written in, in order to meet their audience and purpose.
Students follow a clear and logical learning journey, in which they:
-Understand when and where emails are an appropriate form of communication;
-Establish the structural features of emails;
-Work collaboratively to identify and analyse the content and language features in further model examples of emails;
-Understand how email features are influenced by the purpose and audience of the email;
-Create a success criteria for writing emails (although a ready-made success criteria is included);
-Write their own emails, using a helpsheet (if needed) and the techniques that they have learnt;
-Peer/self-assess their writing attempts.

-Visually engaging whole-lesson PowerPoint;
-Email examples x 3
-Email purpose and audience sorting cards;
-Writing emails helpsheet;

-Step-by-step lesson plan.

Full scheme of work covering all aspects of creative writing. Ideal in preparing students for GCSE English Language Paper 1, Section B.
Designed with the very latest developments in the 9-1 specification in mind, this is best suited to the AQA syllabus but would be equally useful for both KS3 prep and other exam boards.
Please see individual resources for more details. The lessons all work well as stand-alone, but if being used in sequence, the scheme runs as follows:
Lesson 1 - Vocabulary
Lesson 2 - Sensory Description
Lesson 3 - Devices and Techniques
Lesson 4 - Narrative and Descriptive Openings
Lesson 5 - Sentence Variation
Lesson 6 - Characterisation
Lesson 7 - Narrative Structure
Each lesson takes the form of a ‘masterclass’; each masterclass is packed with a range of activities that will enable your students to truly embed and master each aspect of creative writing. Each ‘lesson’ is probably going to take in excess of 2 hours to get through - you may wish to ‘pick and choose’ activities, or take your time with each skill area and cover them in depth.
