- Summary:
- As a non-fiction genre, travel writing offers an excellent way in to understanding how texts work in the real world, and particularly, the ways in which they can fulfil more than one purpose. In this programme, English teacher Ava Houris, from Parliament Hill School for Girls in North London, teaches travel writing in preparation for the reading and writing requirements of the GCSE English exam. In conversation with consultant, Barbara Bleiman, of the English and Media Centre, Ava explores ways of going beyond the most basic features of text types, audiences and purposes, and uses a range of practical classroom strategies - such as graphic methods of planning, modeling writing and analysing real texts - to help students be more creative and lively in their non-fiction writing.
