Powerful Thinking, Powerful Writing
Powerful Thinking, Powerful Writing has the potential to transform teaching practice across the learning programme and, in the process, achieve a phenomenal advance in the standard of students’ thinking and writing. Each book offers nine thinking and writing contexts, covering a range of learning areas. Within each context, students develop a deep and careful thinking strategy for a particular thinking skill before being guided through a step-by-step process to help them transform their powerful thinking into even more powerful writing. This is the series you are looking for to build a culture of inquiry in your classroom to empower, engage and excite your learners.
