Pedagogy

The audio introduction is designed to help motivate the students. It aims to reduce anxiety and to be of special assistance to those who are unsure as to how to get going.

The annotated exemplar provides an at-level modelled response which highlights some of the techniques used to strengthen the writing. Teachers may also find it beneficial to write a second model response as a class.

The writing activities are expected to be less than 250 words, although there is no word limit requirement. We believe that the short-format is less daunting for reluctant writers.
