Programme Overview
Most P5 students have grasped the basics of writing with structure, following a story curve. However, many P5 stories lack emotional maturity and depth.
PSLE Continuous Writing has increased its requirements for emotional descriptions over the years. A simple question like “Write about a time you felt guilty” has many expectations, such as:
- The ability to reflect on moral dilemmas that would cause guilt
- Realistic descriptions of inner conflict
- A logical plot with a satisfying conclusion that resolves this conflict
This is a highly challenging task for most 10-12 year-olds. This is why our proprietary FormuFlow method introduces 4 powerful Core Themes that underpin almost every PSLE question type. Our curriculum does not jump from one random topic to another every week. Rather, we teach students a flowchart system which helps them generate plot ideas and write smoothly.
By the end of a term, students should be able to come up with vivid and emotionally resonant stories in response to any composition question.
Here is an example of a P5 Composition Accelerator lesson.
