Process and product approaches Stages in a writing lesson Assessment of writing Ask Ts to list everything they have written (non-school stuff) in the last week – then explain why they wrote, who to, etc.

What have you written recently? Why? Who to? Purpose Audience In/formality One list for each group, feedback

Text types Emails Letters Stories Poems Guides, instructions Lists Notes Applications/form-filling Messages (inc. texts)

Why is writing difficult? It is often formal, carefully organised It forces students to reveal themselves: it is permanent and public The student must consider the audience Ambiguity cannot be clarified: delayed feedback, if any Absence of negotiation or communicative strategies Script (for non-Romance language students) Compare writing & speaking as go through this

Writing sub-skills Script Spelling Punctuation Vocabulary Grammar Organisation Coherence/cohesion Style (for students with a different script): letter formation, direction, spacing

Process and Product approaches Use w/sheet 1
