Reflections on artefact 4

Reflection on “The Justice Compass” Activity – Using provocative statements produced by students in year 7.

Incorporating diverse genres into the curriculum not only enriches the language skills of the pupils, but also helps them develop a deeper understanding of different modes of expression and communication in English. Gibbons emphasizes the importance of providing authentic writing tasks that mirror real-world contexts, such as composing emails, reports or essays. This approach enables students to engage with language in meaningful ways and understand the conventions and purposes of different genres while also fostering communicative competen...
