Chinese Paragraph Writing Strategies for P3 Students in Singapore

Developed by Singapore Centre for Chinese Language, the “Chinese Paragraph Writing Strategies for P3 Students in Singapore” teaching toolkit is designed for Chinese language teachers teaching Primary 3 students. It can be used as school-based teaching materials for teaching Chinese paragraph writing lessons.

Based on the contents related to paragraph writing teaching in Happy Companions (Huanle Huoban), the lesson plans have incorporated the notion of Differentiated Instruction by providing different learning contents and worksheets for students of high, medium and low levels.

The toolkit consists of eight units, comprising lesson plans, PowerPoint slides and worksheets. In addition, to help teachers better understand the principles behind the toolkit development, a summary of the theoretical underpinnings and a brief note on instructional design are provided.
