developing ml writing skills in primary
DESCRIPTION
Getting children writing in the primary modern language should be fun and meaningful. Be creative in your approaches and be amazed what your learners are able to produce. Writing is not something for upper stages only and should be encouraged from early level.TRANSCRIPT
What types of writing do learners do in your lessons?
What is the balance between the four skills in your lessons?
How do you support writing in your lessons?
I use the support of others and access appropriate reference materials of my choice to help me plan my writing in ways that engage my reader, using ICT when appropriate. MLAN 2-12a
I have opportunities to express myself in writing, exploring
and experimenting with words and phrases using resources, to ensure my writing makes sense. MLAN 2-13a
I can use familiar language to describe myself and to
exchange straightforward information. MLAN 2-13b
I use my knowledge about language and success criteria to help me, and I can check that I have written familiar words and phrases accurately. MLAN 2-14a
