Do you have an issue with BOYS' WRITING in your school? Would you like to be part of a project using technology in a way to drive up standards in writing?
I am looking for schools to work with in the UK and further afield on this exciting new global collaborative project.
I will train both your teachers and your students how to use blogging safely, provide blogs if you needs them, policies and 24/7 support over the duration of the project. For more information about the project, including a video explaining things in more detail, please visit:
https://clusterblogging.net/blog/2021/03/15/quadblogging-the-international-writing-project-2021-2022/
Getting children blogging, connecting them with students around the world, receiving comments, allowing them to write about what they like doing, giving structured peer feedback makes the process of writing purposeful. Don't take my word for it, here are my students telling you why they LOVE writing so much:

If you would like more information, please get in touch using the form on the website. I'm more than. happy to hold Zoom calls with any schools interested in finding out more.
Whether you are based in New Zealand, New Jersey or Newark, this project is a perfect global fit.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
