Both Blake's Red Hot Writing Ideas for Years 7 - 10 books contain a great range of challenging writing tasks, each linked to an ilustration, that will encourage students to think about writing in diverse ways.
The writing tasks vary in style and purpose and include:
* short narratives
* medical and crime reports
* radio scripts
* advertisements
* lists
* biography
* cartoon dialogue
* press releases
Most of the units also include an activity that will encourage students to use and explore correct spelling and grammar conventions. The pages are highly suitable for when a regular teacher is absent, to supplement a lesson, as extension work for fast-finishing students or for homework.
