This writing course is designed to be used with any school subject. It includes a variety of writing frames and planning activities that pupils can easily use to produce different types of writing. There are three separate booklets which represent three different levels. These are Initial Level, Higher Level and Advanced Level and the tasks in each are differentiated accordingly. The names are chosen for motivational reasons so that all pupils feel they are working to a good standard. The types of writing included at each level are: Informative Writing Personal Writing Writing Instructions Persuasive Writing Imaginative Writing Discursive Writing Most of these types of writing can be used along with topics studied in any subject.
