Publisher's Synopsis
This series aims to improve the standard of KS3 students' writing, and help them make the transition from readers to confident writers. Writing is the most difficult language skill to learn and teach. Through its emphasis on supported practice Collins Active Writing demystifies the process and builds towards test success.
For each KS3 year, Collins Active Writing comprises one student text book and one teacher's resource. Together, these elements equip the pupils with the tools to write and support the teacher by providing:
step-by-step supported practice from paragraphs to whole essays
coverage of all the writing objectives of the Framework and every text type
mock questions and mark schemes for the writing tasks in Y7/8 optional tests, and the Y9 national test
notes and photocopiables for teachers to model writing and support pupil work effectively, whether independently or in guided groups sessions.
