Modelling/Modelling book/Annotating a text: The teacher provides a model of good writing and explicitly highlights the linguistic and language features and learning outcomes for the students. The exemplified model text is kept for further reference by students’ e.g. in a large book, or on a chart. Students often glue a copy into their own exercise book which they may also exemplify, etc. modelling can be a form of shared or guided writing. Modelling makes learning visible.
