| Event Summary | There is a lot of talk about reading for pleasure in schools but much less about writing for pleasure. In this course we will explore some of the research behind writing for pleasure and share a range of ideas and strategies for engaging pupils in writing. |
||||||
| Event description | A number of reports and a range of anecdotal evidence from English Subject Leaders highlight progress in writing as an area which has been impacted heavily as a result of the disruption caused by Covid-19. Stamina for writing, sentence structures, spelling and motivation are just some of the areas mentioned by subject leaders when they talk about ongoing difficulties with writing. In this course we will explore the concept of writing for pleasure considering how we can engage pupils in writing, not just to get them to write but to see themselves as writers. We will explore some of the research and current thinking behind the concept of writing for pleasure and share a range of practical ideas, resources and strategies for encouraging writing in your school. |
