More Details

Summary:

In this film, 4 teachers share their strategies for supporting their KS1 and KS2 pupils in writing non-fiction, focusing on the following text types: discussion, explanation, instruction and recount. Teaching ideas range from pupils learning the rules of different text types through physical actions - a technique that Deputy Head, Peta Blow, calls the VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) approach - to organising a debate to encourage ideas to flow for discussion texts, getting children to design an imaginary machine to help with writing their explanation texts, and sending pupils off around school to interview teachers about events taking place to provide substance for their recounts.
