Developing Formative Writing in Primary History (Workshop 6)

Developing Formative Writing in Primary History

Formative writing can provide valuable insight into pupils’ historical thinking. This practical webinar explores how giving pupils regular opportunities to write during history lessons can help capture their understanding at different points in the learning process. It will show how formative writing supports pupils in organising and developing their ideas, while enabling teachers to identify and address misconceptions early and effectively.

The training will be led by Andrew Wrenn, a knowledgeable history specialist and an honorary fellow of the Historical Association. He is an experienced teacher, trainer and writer, former LA adviser, and author and co-author of educational materials, articles and books.
