Students need to see writing as an art form, constructing narratives and piecing together ideas until they form rich literary narrative, not sticking to a predetermined layout.
A good way to start this process is to put an emphasis on reading for change, and to mould students into dynamic readers who share their ideas in constructive ways. Take more of an exploratory and ‘workshop’ style approach to allow students to build confidence in exam technique and feel prepared to tackle questions independently.
