Writing a statement of intent

Writing - Formulating a Statement of Intent

$5.00Price

Students must be deliberate with their writing process.  This document is a template for a statement of intent that requires students to:

  • Brainstorm possibilities for their chosen prompt (an example is provided),
  • Note the idea they're wanting to show;
  • Describe their purpose;
  • Name their key audience;
  • Select the point of view they're writing from;
  • Name the genre they'll write in;
  • Choose the language features they're likely to use (they can also tweak this as they work or retrospectively);
  • Choose the structural features they're likely to use (again, this can be tweaked at the time of writing or later).

 

Just in case you want everything in the same document, there is also room for students to plan and write on this document.  (If they need clear scaffolding, try the formatting templates resource.)

 

Finally, a student writing checklist included, emphasising the need to develop ideas, check for errors etc, but also pushing students with the line, "If I was asked to, I could point these out and explain why I used them - OMG, Boom" with regard to both language and structural features.

  • Sharing/Copying this Resource

    Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher.  However:

    • Please do NOT share with the school down the road. 
    • Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
    • Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!

    That's pretty fair I think!  Let's help each other out.  :)
