Addressing writing outcomes.
What aspects do we need to consider when addressing writing outcomes?
• The use of the text
• Contextual understanding
• Conventions
• Process and strategies
• Purpose and audience
Purpose and audience of a text is a key aspect when planning for writing. Some questions that should be considered are:
Who is my audience?
This falls under, age, cultural background, context, intellectual background, gender and a host of other less obvious demographics.
When starting writing tasks with learners, help them identify the key concepts associated with writing a story.
Some things to consider when writing a text:
• Characters
• Orientation, time/setting
• Problem/conflict
• Change
• Event/action
• Cause and effect.
