Write Ways cover

Effective writers use their knowledge of writing purposes, text structures and language features, and adapt these to create innovative and powerful texts that engage the reader and meet the writer's purpose. Write Ways is designed as teacher resource that can be drawn on for content and can be used in creative, timely and differentiated ways in whole class, small group or individual teaching contexts. It provides information that teachers can draw on when observing their students and their writing; assessing their progress; providing timely and explicit feedback, and planning focused teaching and learning sequences so that students develop as thoughtful, competent and engaged writers. This fifth edition includes links with the AC:E as well as an increased focus on grammar multiliteracies, literacy practices and teaching focuses at whole text, paragraph, clause, sentence, word group and word level. Chapters 1 to 2 describe program planning and teaching practices that underpin a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning about these purposes and text types. Chapters 3 to 6 describe the theory, reading and writing process, and how to use texts. Chapters 7 to 17 describe in more detail some of the text types for specific purposes. Chapters also include teaching sequences that demonstrate ways of making explicit the links between reading and writing. These sequences, along with the genre-specific assessment checklists that follow them, are available for download in classroom-friendly format.
