Everybody Writes Day planning

This is a list of events that I organised for a whole school literacy day called 'Everybody Writes'. As we were a small school, I was able to create three separate workshops across the day for each pupil in the school. I wanted to make the point that 'writing' isn't just something you have to do at school, but a skill that stays with you for life. I also wanted to include the local business community, so contacted various companies to see what they could offer. I hope this list of ideas might be useful to anyone who is considering planning something similar. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to know any more.... MORE

SPaG mat to support accurate DIRT responses

This is a basic reference tool to enable students to read and respond to questions about inaccuracies in SPaG for DIRT lessons, or in grammar teaching. I use it with a writing target bank based on the errors I encounter when marking student work. I use these in a SPaG station for students to take to their desks during DIRT, but others in my department have them sellotaped to desks for everyday reference.The original is found at https://satscompanion.com/product/spag-placemat/...
