Overview
There is a need for the materials.....and we believe essay writing can useful approached with memory words like this one....
Overview.
Here is an example of our work to help students be better prepared for key learning tasks.
Most students arrive at university with limited confidence and preparedness to write essays. It is a significant issue because many people with talent are not recognised for reasons that have nothing
to do with their subject knowledge and everything to do with their preparedness to write essays.Having spent a number of years collecting 'what works' from the classroom, I feel a greating starting point is memory words for key essay processes. You can get a feel for this by reviewing the example on the side of the page.
This is a sample of a section from the guide. Memory words are used to guide the procecess of writing in a way that achieves several goals at once. Critical thinking and alignment with assessment principles are captured by using thinking tools such as are shown by this example. When practised, students are able to write with more confidence, at greater pace and typically with higher grades for the time invested.
The Guide's Journey
Repeatable Resources
When I started work as a teacher in 2010, I came to realise that essay writing was a skill most people found difficult. It was not just me after all! At the time, this was a big revelation for me. I decided to do what I could to improve the situation as I saw it.
Brief overview of resources
Owing to continued demand, a new book is due to be realised very soon, likely some time in the summer of 2024
References to earlier materials exist and they show a positive reception to earlier version of the materials. A significant step occurred in 2013, when the first edition was published. Reivews can be seen on Amazon.co.uk.
.
Developments
Between 2010 and 2024, I delivered the materials in various contexts. Based on a number of satisfied reviews, I decided a new edition was justified. You will find it available from a range of outlets very shortly.
A wide range of students have used these materials, including students at the University of Oxford, students at London Metropolitan and Royal Holloway, to name a few.
