Factual Writing: Exploring and Challenging Social Reality

by Jim Martin, Frances Christie (Series Editor)

This book describes the different types of writing that are used as tools of communication in the adult world, and compares the writing tasks that teachers set for their pupils and the ways in which they measure success. By analyzing the different skills required within the school context and
the outside world, Martin suggests how the education process could become more appropriate to the needs of the individual.
