Develop your learners' skills in creative writing and writing for a purpose.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Introduce your learners to creative writing and writing for a purpose. They’ll write an explanation of how bees make honey and a play script based on their favourite story, helping build their extended writing skills as they progress through the units. Each unit focuses on a different text type such as dialogue, recounts, reports or instructions. Model texts in each chapter show learners good examples of each writing type and specific activities are included to help them practise their grammar. Planning tools and an extended writing task develop learners’ essential skills including editing, checking, planning and creative thinking.
