About this title

Synopsis

In this third edition, bestselling author Sue
Cowley offers advice on improving skills and confidence, and getting students
excited about writing - not just in literacy or English, but across the
curriculum. This book is full of engaging and creative approaches for writers
at all stages of confidence and competence: from children just starting to
write, to experienced learners looking to perfect their own style. This edition
includes new material on:

• writing in the Digital Age
• creative ideas for getting boys to write
• cross-curricular writing projects

On the companion website you'll find lots of useful extras, including advice
about the teacher as writer - how you can use your writing skills beyond the
school. This thoroughly practical guide will interest all educators who want to
maximise the potential of every one of their students. It is an invaluable
resource for teachers working at secondary and FE level, but equally a source
of inspiration and practical advice for practitioners in primary schools.
