Redrafting and learning to edit your own work at KS4 and A Level
Andrew Norriss
Screenwriter and novelist Andrew Norriss offers teachers and A-level students a professional’s insight into the process of redrafting an extended piece of writing.
Andrew Norriss has written and co-written some hundred and fifty episodes of sit-coms and children’s drama for television, and ten books for children, including Aquila which won the Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year in 1997.
As Andrew explains in this engaging journey through the redrafting process, “It’s a very different process from the heady shambles of composing the first draft when your imagination has free rein and anything can happen. It uses a different part of the brain, I think, but is in its own way every bit as much fun.”
