Spring Term 2024 Episode 7 - Writer identities, rogue full stops and making space for editing

Join Jane Considine and Heather Wright for insights and discussions around Writing for Pleasure, Making Space for Editing and lots of other (maybe) interesting stuff thrown in, too!!!

This week, Heather is grateful for the lovely and support between teacher colleagues, while Jane is grateful making friends in Aldi!

In Sentence of the Week, Heather thinks about what she responds to as a writer to help think about pupil writer identities, while Jane shares ways we can show the importance of editing writing and give pupils space to do it.

In this week’s Wonder of Words, Jane shares brilliantly crafted writing about Monsters from Jenny Pearson, while Heather entices us into a mystery with Lizzie and Belle, written by JT Williams.

Heartbursts from Jane and Big Love from Heather xxx 💕💕💕
