Pupil worksheet with original model article, editing tasks, planning support, independent writing and reflection.
Answer sheet with suggested improvements, a full model article and acceptable alternatives.
Teacher notes with structured support, challenge and assessment guidance.
Suitable for
Year 6 English lessons, transition projects, tutoring, summer bridge work or early Year 7 reflective writing.

Why it works
It develops purposeful non-fiction writing through a meaningful audience and promotes realistic confidence rather than vague reassurance.
