:
• Ideas that are interesting and important
.
•
Organization that is logical and effective.• Voice that is individual and appropriate.• Word Choice that is specific and memorable. • Sentence Fluency that is smooth and expressive. • Conventions that are correct and communicative.” Teaching That Makes Sense: What is Good Writing?Writing Feedback – Technical Skill vs. Content

Children and young people will demonstrate their progress in writing though the degree of
independence they show, the organisation and quality of their ideas, their skills in spelling, punctuation and grammar, the match of their writing to audience and the effectiveness of their use of language . . . Learners’ enthusiasm and motivation for using language will show in their growing use of different media and texts, their preferences in reading, their confidence in sharing experiences
through talk and writing and in the
ways
they apply their skills in their learning and communicating
