Writing to explain framework
A writing structure for students who are writing an explanation text. It is appropriate for students new to this form of writing.
The steps include:
- starting with a general statement
- using paragraphs to separate the steps in the process
- reminders of the language which is needed in this type of text in terms of its vocabulary, tense and tone.
This resource could be used as a visual prompt alongside a writing task or as a poster to introduce explanation texts.
