3-day March Holidays Writing Programme
This programme aims at sensitising students to how they can improve the content of their composition without using an excessive amount of complex and fancy vocabulary. Students are introduced strategies to zoom in on the most crucial parts of the questions, stay on track and elaborate with basic vocabulary expected at their level. As students are inevitably assessed on their language during writing, the programme will also introduce students to the various types of descriptive vocabulary and how to use them appropriately.
This is suitable for P4 - P5 students who would like a boost in content-building; for P6 students who have some difficulties elaborating on their ideas.
