Written Expression

Written expression requires many skills

To write stories, recounts, assignments and essays, a student needs to be able to:

• spell words quickly and accurately
• use punctuation correctly
• use a variety of sentence types
• use appropriate ‘signal words’ such as firstly, for example, on the other hand and in conclusion
• understand how different types of text are constructed (for example, a short story is constructed in a different way to a newspaper article)
• organise ideas into an appropriate sequence
• edit work carefully for organisation, grammar, spelling and punctuation.
