Description: 

An OTLA project by Suffolk New College that aimed to explore the use of a visualiser in improving the way the college modeled text annotation and different stages of the writing process.

Taxonomy: 
Practitioner Research and Evidence Hub: 
Yes
Principal focus of the project: 

The aim of this project was to see what impact the use of a visualiser would have on improving students’ literacy skills and GCSE English grades.

What is this about and what were the main findings: 

To encourage students to work collaboratively with teachers and other learners, teachers were trained to use visualisers to model the processes of text annotation, stages of the writing process using authentic texts, and exam questions. Increased modelling using a visualiser has now become a key feature of the college's English lessons, and is included in their curriculum planning documents.
