CPL The Joy Of Teaching Reading And Writing 7 - 10

Deb McPherson loves reading and writing. She suggests some approaches and texts to enthuse your students using the NSW 7-10 English syllabus. “…the best time I had was in the classroom and the best time I had in the classroom was when I could see students hooked on reading and writing… It’s very exciting to be living in a world where texts have exploded… there is a huge range of texts we can explore and that’s very exciting for students. …Student choice needs to be there front and centre and it is essential that student choice is there. … Getting into writing regularly and often and frequently, that is the key... it’s got to be a routine that you get into… to have writing in the classroom every day is really important.” Note for listeners: This episode was originally recorded for the JPL Podcast, hence the references to the JPL Podcast throughout For information about contributors and the JPL Podcast, as well as Journal of Professional Learning articles and Centre for Professional Learning courses, please visit our website www.cpl.asn.au/podcasts
