It helps if you can define this with them. Purposes for writing are about the text type(s) involved, and the text type(s) go some way towards defining the overall structure and the kinds of sentence required.<br /> <br /> Major text types are:<br /> * instruction;<br /> * recount;<br /> * explanation/description;<br /> * information;<br /> * persuasion;<br /> * discussion;<br /> * analysis;<br /> * evaluation.<br /> <br /> {| style=&quot;border-spacing:0;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;border:0.018cm solid #000000;padding-top:0cm;padding-bottom:0cm;padding-left:0.191cm;padding-right:0.191cm;&quot;| '''Text types in your subject'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;border:0.018cm solid #000000;padding-top:0cm;padding-bottom:0cm;padding-left:0.191cm;padding-right:0.191cm;&quot;| With your colleague, decide what text types are required in your subject.<br /> <br /> <br /> Reflect on how explicit you are about those types when asking pupils to complete a writing task.<br /> <br /> |}<br /> As pupils move through Key Stages 3 and 4, the text types tend to become blurred. Pupils will need to explain/inform to persuade; they will need to use information to support discussion and explain points of view, but explicit knowledge about the various types helps them combine them effectively.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Creating a context for writing'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {| style=&quot;border-spacing:0;&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;border-top:0.018cm solid
