The Write Connection - Discussion

[Alicia_Q]

Hi JJ2,


As far as I know, they do give model compo to upper primary to aid them in their writing and exam preparation.
For lower primary, they teach them to analyse their comprehension pieces and different skills and techniques used, my girl gets to apply and learn these techniques by heart. I feel it is better, because I dont want my girl to look at model compositions too early and start memorising, and lost all her creativity. I am letting my girl to read some classics also, so she get exposed to more types of writing styles. Hope this helps!

JJ2:

Was about to sign up for next year's class but realised that TWC doesn't give out model compositions for students to refer to. Should this be a cause for concern?


Anyone can advise on whether model compositions should or shouldn't be given to students in the learning of composition writing?

I heard from my friend that their lessons are very surface and didn't help to improve her son's work at all. Any ideas? Not sure if British Council lessons comply with Singapore exams??

I'm referring to British Council. Their programmes for foreign students are quite effective.
