Teaching Writing Within a Balanced Literacy Program

Friday 15 August 2008, 9am–4pm

During the workshop, participants will:

• explore concepts of audience and purpose
• revisit the writing process, text types, skills and strategies for writing, and
• discuss organisational strategies and links with integrated units.
