- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- using research to gather ideas for writing and integrating information from a range of sources which may include those found online selecting text structure and planning how to group ideas into paragraphs to sequence content
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
