6. Developing Writing Skills The Context
Many students in post-16 education will have seen English worksheets and textbooks through their secondary education. Therefore, many find these resources and this approach ‘boring’. Furthermore, these resources have not enabled students to achieve a C grade at school, so there is no reason to assume they will now. Therefore, the resources in this guide have an emphasis on interactive activities rather than worksheets; there are some hand-outs which could be enlarged and form part of a wall display or laminated and put on desks for students to refer to when reading and writing. There is a short selection of e-learning resources further on in this section.
AQA’s assessment objects have been used. Many of the activities and resources can be applied to controlled assessment or examination work.
All of the resources in this guide have been used successfully with English GCSE students in a post- 16 context. Please contact ACER if you would like to explore staff development workshops on the use of these resources and how they link with e-learning.
