| Students struggling with story writing?
Give them these scaffolds - and the sky’s the limit!
Story-Writing Scaffolds Lower Primary Book 2 is intended for use in schools to help teach students how to write effective short stories in a variety of different formats or genres. It improves students' ability to organise their writing so that is has purpose by familiarising them with a system of planning stories which they can apply to any title. Each unit includes information and activities on at least one sentence-level feature. Thus the book also enhances the students' knowledge of grammar, punctuation and text style.
The books in the series include:
• Teacher’s notes on the genres and text formats
• Illustrated photocopiable exemplar stories together with an annotated teacher’s version that highlights the grammar, punctuation and writing techniques used in the story
• Guidance on how to develop specific grammar skills in student’s writing
• Photocopiable activity sheets to reinforce the grammar
• Guidance on how to assist students to write a particular genre
• Notes and tips for students on writing stories
• Story scaffolds for each genre that enable students to choose the course of the story they are writing
• Vocabulary banks for each genre, to use and add to.
This versatile resource is ideal for shared, guided and individual writing. It provides a structured but flexible system for planning stories, which can be applied to any writing lesson.
