Full teaching script
  1. Today: Functional Skills writing. Our goal: Write clearly for a purpose and audience.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. Decide purpose (inform, persuade, complain), audience and format first. Then plan three or four paragraphs, use topic sentences, keep sentences under about 20 words, and proofread aloud for sense.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Write a formal complaint letter about a faulty item.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
