  • Hi Michael,

    Setting achievable goals when writing is such an important lesson, but so too is the necessity of revision!

    We draft SO much at myself school in senior years, and it makes such a difference to the way students write.

    Thanks for sharing your personal experiences, plus your practical tips for English teachers.

    Bianca Hewes 🙂
