These shared experiences are the basis for equity in learning and raising attainment. Outdoor Learning Contexts for Writing – Four Writing Styles and 9 Text Types has suggestions and links to supporting resources for Primary 1 to Primary 7. The grid is based on the EA Active Literacy Team’s description of text styles and types and planning grid Four Writing Styles and Nine Text types – Coverage of Writing.
COACh have created a suite of IDL materials linked to books and novels which have a strong environmental theme.
