Defining what "good writing" is can be a challenge, which makes writing a difficult skill to teach and assess. Many of us know an excellent piece of writing when we see it, yet find it difficult to explain what makes it so good. Similarly, student writers often struggle to figure out exactly what is expected of them and aren't sure of what they can do to improve their work.
Fortunately, there is a wealth of quality online material and information on the topic. What I find is that the more I look, the more I learn, and the more I learn, the less I seem to know! But by exploring the lessons, tips and tools of other educators, I feel inspired to try new things and share what I'm learning myself. It's quite an education.
