Writing Craft
Exploring Different Writing Skills
In the new English syllabus, students need to be familiar with different text types - from letters to articles to narrative stories to poems. Writing Craft, exposes students to all that. First, students examine specific vocabulary, discuss ideas and details relevant to a theme. Then, they take those words and ideas and explore how they can be presented as different types of writing.
