Curriculum Companion: Subject-Specific Writing
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW, Delivery estimate: September 2022
This Curriculum Companion for Subject-Specific Writing aims to help students:
- Use sophisticated, academic and subject-specific vocabulary in their writing
- Develop subject-specific literacy, for example geographical literacy, so as to deepen their knowledge
- Learn curriculum subjects by writing about them (a process known as writing to learn)
- Develop fully-formed, coherent sequences of thoughts, beginning with simple topic sentences and progressing to multi-paragraph essays
- Use correct grammar to give clarity to their writing
- Consider the purposes and audiences for their writing.
In doing so, the hope is that primary-age students will be ready for the academic demands of the secondary curriculum.
In addition, the Companion aims to help teachers:
- Plan purposeful writing activities that reflect the powerful knowledge they are teaching their students
- Scaffold the writing process in a structured and systematic manner
- Assess, formatively students’ learning
- Follow a clear whole-school model for subject-specific writing.
