WOW- Writing Fun

Posted at 6:28 am under WOW, literacy, resources




This week’s Website Of the Week is Writing Fun by Jenny Eather. This site used to be a part of Rainforest Maths before it closed down (it has reopened now). Writing Fun is excellent for showing kids the ‘recipe’ for many genres of writing. It comes with several examples (increasing in difficulty) of each genre and a printable template for the students to use when they are writing. Any genre’s writing lesson should start with this on the IWB.

I use this website to teach the students about each style of genre we are writing in.  After reading through the genre on the first day and reading a couple of examples, I get the students to lead the second and third day by coming up and circling the various parts, words etc on different examples.

Here’s the poster for writing fun.

    Sounds good. Do you have a link for it?
