To PEE or not to PEE?: helping GCSE learners to write about reading (Code: C1493)
BackCritical analysis is a challenging skill for post-16 learners. Not only must they be accomplished at the underpinning reading skills but they must also learn to write in a very sophisticated way if they are to pick up the marks and recognition in the GCSE examination reading questions.
This course will explore that crossover between reading and writing and how to help learners to develop the skills of writing about their reading. We will investigate the much used PEED/L approach and consider and try out other strategies for helping learners to succeed in this area of English.
