Description
Writing Course Term 3: Run Your Own Business!
This term we imagine we are running our own business. We use our communication skills to ask for grants, advertise, overcome complaints, and deal with difficult situations.
Thinking carefully about audience and purpose, we reflect on why tone is so important in our writing, the necessity of good spelling, punctuation and grammar, and the value of writing in an emotionally intelligent way.
- Tutorials – The tutorials are a blend of direct teaching, group discussion of extracts and model writing, and writing practice with live feedback from the tutor
- Writing requirements – Students need to write during the lessons using online worksheets. Students write at their own pace and receive guidance and encouragement along the way.
- Feedback and support – Students will receive live feedback on written work during tutorials using Google Classrooms. It is useful to have a Google account that they can use for this purpose
- Homework – Optional homework opportunities provided.
