A worked writing example
I thought learning to sketch meant getting every line right. After a page of uneven cups, I realised I was looking at the paper more than the object. Slowing down helped. If you are starting too, try drawing one ordinary thing twice before judging your progress.
Look for these choices
- The post has a clear audience and angle.
- Experience and reflection work together.
- The title and takeaway match the content.
Teacher prompt
Who is the reader, what is your angle, and what should they take away?
Adjust the support: rehearse a sentence aloud, offer a small phrase bank or mark a model together. Ask learners to make a fresh choice independently when they are ready.
