Teaching Tools
General Writing Teaching Tools
These are handbooks and mini-lessons as well as charts and forms for use in teaching the writing process. These are not specific to genre or strand of writing but comprise the steps to teaching all writing including: how to plan, write, edit and revise writing, and how to use anchor papers and feedback in teaching and assessing writing.
Many of these tools are incorporated in the “Together is Better” Handbooks under Opinion/Argument, Informative/Explanatory and Narrative Writing Sections.
