Explicit Teaching A central message is the importance of explicitly teaching writing and a gradual release of responsibility – moving from modelling to shared and interactive to independent writing. Modelling → Shared & Interactive → Independent To learners → With learners → By learners Text Types Stephen Graham highlights: • 3 broad areas of writing (persuasive; informative; imaginative). • 9 specific text types within the three broad areas (discussion; response; exposition; report; procedure; explanation; recount; description; narrative). • It is not recommended to teach all 9 text types in one academic year! • Rather, comprehensive coverage of 3 text types per year is advised – with a suggested five or six weeks spent teaching each text type. Adapted from Stephen Graham Understanding How Texts Work Webinars (Dec. 2020) Text Type Purposes • Discussion: to examine issues from more than one perspective. • Response: to respond to a visual, written or performed work. • Exposition: to persuade by arguing one side of an issue. • Report: to classify and/or describe. • Procedure: to instruct someone on how to do something. • Explanation: to explain how or why something happens. • Recount: to retell a series of events. • Description: (often embedded within other text types) to describe the characteristics or features of a person, object or event. • Narrative: to entertain, amuse or instruct. • Adapted from Explicitly Teaching Writing (Graham & Small, nelsonprimary.com.au/pd: 2019) Describing Bubbles • A tool that can be used for many writing tasks and for various text types. • Useful to have in poster form/on the whiteboard so that it can be referred to often. • Supports learners to develop sentences and paragraphs. number position size doing Describing Bubbles (verb) colour texture shape The Describing Bubble – adapted from Stephen Graham Understanding How Texts Work Webinars (Dec. 2020)
