My chapter explores the accumulated wisdom of history teachers about extended writing, particularly how they enable and motivate all students to construct their own arguments in extended prose.

Practical examples range from a focus on vocabulary to paragraph cohesion. 2/3

V. excited for the new edition of ‘A Practical Guide to Teaching History in Secondary Schools’. Thanks to the amazing editors @dankeates.bsky.social, Matt Stanford and Corrine Goullee for inviting me to contribute.

So many fantastic authors and it includes a beautiful tribute to Helen Snelson. 1/3
