Writing

Links to 'rules' and checklists for writing and revising the writing

Writing is something most teachers have to do, quickly, without much time to revise or reflect. The old journalists’ joke springs to mind: “You can have 3,000 words by lunchtime, 300 words tomorrow but if you need 30 words, I’ll need a week”. The checklists and suggestions below may help (I’m using them when I remember)...

• Writing tips for non-writers
• Easy on the Adverbs, Exclamation Points and Especially Hooptedoodle (aimed at fiction writers but relevant to non-fiction as well)
• Hints for revision (if you get time!)
• Writing, briefly (mentioned before but excellent)

I’m working my way up to a bit of a rant on PowerPoint….
