Inspiring Writing – Stimulus-based Imaginative Texts – ORANGE (NSW Stage 1)

Inspiring Writing is a set of resources to support teachers and students in the teaching and learning of primary-school writing skills. These may be used on a whole-class, small group or individual basis as part of a regular school program, as part of a homework program, and/or to facilitate more effective differentiated writing instruction for students who need additional support or extension. This resource supports the development of skills in creating stimulus-based imaginative texts, a vital skill for students’ learning within the Australian curriculum framework.

Inspiring Writing is designed primarily to support teaching and learning in Stage 2-3 classrooms. Five levels spanning Early Stage 1 to Stage 3 can be used concurrently to scaffold and inspire children at various stages of their journey as writers. Each level builds on the one before, and students at different levels can work on related, similar-looking tasks at their own level at the same time.

ORANGE LEVEL (DEVELOPING) writers (~NSW S1) are those students who have some foundations in writing. They are developing their knowledge and use of text and language structures and features including simple and compound sentences and appropriate paragraph structure; adverbs, adjectives, articles, prepositional phrases, time connectives conjunctions; consistent tense, noun-pronoun reference and subject-verb agreement; imagery  and wordplay; and a wider range of punctuation, including for speech. THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES THE ORANGE LEVEL ONLY. OTHER LEVELS AVAILABLE IN FULL KIT.
