Information

This event brings together a professional writer, writing researchers, A Level students and Year 7 students to explore how writing can be developed through the use of coaching.

It draws on ESRC-funded studies by the Exeter Centre for Research in Writing which highlight the importance of learning to talk about and evaluate writing choices.

In the morning, A-level students will be introduced to current research and taught how to support younger writers.

A professional writer will then lead Year 7 students in a creative workshop where they will work with their coaches to produce exciting pieces of writing!
