This workshop will teach participants about the functional role of grammar within narrative and persuasive texts, including strategies for explaining punctuation. • Within Narrative writing - the focus will be on increasing subordination within sentences using adverbials, descriptive language, connecting devices and verb types • Within Expository writing - the focus will be on a variety of linguistic devices used to deliver imagery, power, emphasis, emotion and persuasion. A case study of a year 4 student will be used to illustrate how these strategies were successfully employed.
