NCEA Writing

Workshop: NCEA writing

Intended audience: Years 11-12
Duration: 1 day

Description: The aim of this workshop is to help students with one of the pieces of writing required for NCEA literacy. Students will write a profile of a person they admire. Teachers are encouraged to involve themselves fully in the workshop as learners and to attend the post teacher deep dive.

Writing skills learned include:

  • Audience aware
  • Intro no trouble
  • Body building paragraphs
  • Quote unquote
  • The finishing touch
  • How to check yourself

I will also share some of the challenges I go through as a writer and ways I overcome these challenges – to show students that everyone struggles with writing, but we can do it!

Cost: $1800 plus gst plus travel costs (IRD travel rate – 83c per km). You may be able to get funding assistance from Read NZ Te Pou Muramura.

  • “Great to see so many of our less engaged students really enjoying the sessions. Very positive feedback from the students. I have noticed a change in motivation already. Loved it and would definitely do it again!”
