Writing stage
- Have learners write their first draft in groups.
- Let learners write their ideas as they appear, without taking particular note of corrections or editing.
- Let learners add on new ideas that occur to them as they write. The document sets the first line above at the indicator's own left margin rather than indented with the exemplars, so it reads as part of the indicator on the page; it is an instruction to the teacher and is transcribed as the first exemplar.
