This ongoing course covers the different styles of transactional writing and text types (non- fiction writing). Each week focuses on one particular style of writing - either writing to inform, explain, argue, persuade, discuss, compare and contrast, review. Each text type has a particular set of conventions - these are the typical expected features and include structure, language and form. Understanding the conventions of the text types is essential in creating a successful piece of writing. 
Students will write in a variety of formats: articles, speeches, non-chronological reports, letters, P.E.E. paragraphs. Students will also practise the essential non-fiction skills of summarising and paraphrasing. 
Each lesson will focus on one of the text types/purposes and one of the writing formats. The lesson will explain and demonstrate what the conventions are, how to set out the piece of writing and what language is appropriate for the style.
Each week students continue to reinforce their learning and continue to practice writing in the different styles and formats. 
The expectation is that each student will complete or start a piece of writing during the lesson (which will then be finished for homework)  - to be sent at the end of the lesson or later to be marked. Therefore students will need to be able to use word during the lesson as Zoom 'chat' does not allow students to set out work in appropriate formats.
PLEASE NOTE MARKING IS USUALLY DONE ON A THURSDAY OR FRIDAY - MY NON-TEACHING DAYS. 
Please Note - the Saturday section of this class only runs every other week - not every week. 
Each lesson has a full exemplar for students to follow, and a Knowledge Organiser which helps students to remember to include all the relevant conventions and guide them through the appropriate language, punctuation and sentence structure features.
The lesson starts by looking at an example of the style/format and sharing the success criteria for that week's piece of writing - then we identify the conventions/features used in the example. Students then practice the particular features before spending at least 15 minutes writing their piece or completing a task to reinforce the aim of the lesson.

Please note I am on holiday from the 24th of August - classes resume on the 9th of September. 

Hi - thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Karen and I  moved to rural Lincolnshire in 2019 - before that I lived and worked in London for 30 years. I am a qualified English Teacher and I also have a BA Hons Degree in Fashion. I have been an English and Media teacher for the past twenty years in Secondary Schools (High School) teaching ages 10 to 18. My last position in full time education (2019) was as Deputy Director of English and Literature in a large Secondary School. Before I became a teacher I worked in the fashion industry as a designer - designing ranges for well known High Street labels. I now teach full time on Outschool.  
 My lessons encourage the love of reading, writing and film; my aim is to help learners explore the  beauty and complexity of language and imagery. Reading and film help us to understand the world around us and allows us to experience endless possibilities and writing helps us to express our thoughts, feelings and dreams. Yes of course it is important our children achieve their academic potential in school, to ensure they go out into the world prepared and able, but an inquisitive mind and an ability to express their feelings and ideas is just as important.
My aim as a teacher is to encourage creativity and a love of learning - helping students to be confident and encouraging them to express their thoughts and ideas is the most important thing a teacher can do - 'growing' as a person is the most important lesson we can ever give our children.
My classes are academic and designed to teach and develop the core reading and writing skills - my curriculum is closely linked to the UK National Curriculum for KS2 KS3 and GCSE. I also teach IGCSE - having taught that both in school and as a private tutor. 
For writing classes I  use the 'modeling' instructional strategy. Students 'see' what the style of writing or technique should look like, along with a detailed rationale of why and the skills involved. Students then try the skill for themselves with 'quick writes' for which verbal feedback is given, building to a piece of independent writing which is sent for marking and feedback.
For reading classes I use a combination of teaching styles in order to support the development of the reading skills - helping students to understand what the question is asking them - how to answer it, and how much detail is appropriate. I also use exemplars to model 'full mark' answers enabling students to understand what they did well and where they can improve.
Lessons are accompanied with Knowledge Organisers to help students develop vocabulary, give examples of writing techniques and  provide success checklists to help students understand 'how' to progress.
I am a huge football and rugby fan, so when I'm not teaching I am often to be found cheering on my favourite teams.
