Are you finding it hard to inspire your children to write? Try writing for a purpose!
Today I told my class we were going to write to our previous Prime Minister. Inviting him to visit our school. I explained that the way to tell if their letter was written well, persuasive and emotive enough, is if the Prime Minister actually arrives at school.
The excitement in their eyes knowing that by putting pen to paper they could make actually make things happen, was amazing to see.
If we can get him to visit school, we can do anything. This feeling of empowerment is the greatest gift any teacher can provide to their students. ❤️
