What are Openers (the O in VCOP)?
The term ‘openers’ refers to the beginning of all sentences, not just the beginning of the text. Students need to be aware of how openers affect their writing for the audience, to know when to vary when to be repetitive for effect, and when to use powerful openers. They also need to understand the power of a strong ending, which we teach alongside openers.
The aim of the session is to;
· Focus on a variety of openers and the importance of varying them.
· Understand the importance of a strong finish.
· Look at how to go about teaching and practising openers and differentiating for learners.
This course is suitable for educators of preschool to adult learners who are using or wish to use the VCOP elements in their classroom. It is also ideal for leadership, support staff, or educators wanting to raise their students’ writing or oral language skills.
Ideally, this course will be completed by staff using the school license.
