Date: 25th November 2021

Time: 4.00p.m -5.15p.m

Venue: Online

In this webinar, we will explore how to support our older students’ writing through the use of writing crafts. Using the
writing workshop model, we will show how writers can hone their craft when opening stories, showing how characters
are feeling, slowing down the action etc. We will consider the different structure of informational text and the
importance of audience and purpose when making decisions. Participants will receive a digital resource pack with
materials to support classroom instruction.
