MAS - EFFECTIVE WRITING FOR UPSR

For Kluangs UPSR 2008 .

From analysis conducted, it has been found out that most pupils who did not pass
the English Language paper are those who had done very miserably in writing, while
those who could not score distinction are ones who have not mastered techniques and
know-hows for quality writing. As such, it is just timely that PPD kluang has come up
with several modules that are designed to help the pupils of Kluang to fare better and also
to excel in the writing aspect.
MAS - Effective Writing In UPSR is one such module. This activity book is the
version used by one of the schools which has always been very successful in UPSR in the
district. This newly-revised, refined and improvised version is even better. It incorporates
clear and precise techniques and steps in answering questions for all the sections in the
014 Paper 2. These steps and techniques are planned and discussed thoroughly by
experienced teachers who have been selected by PPD which has entrusted these panel
members to do a close-up scrutiny on the various weaknesses in all the three sections of
the paper.
All the three sections have writing activities formatted just like the 3 sections tested
in the UPSR. Activities are designed to enable pupils to construct sentences effectively
and progressively. The three sections begin with a fully-answered activity, then the
partially guided activities with brainstorming workouts and progress on with lesser
and lesser guidance given till the totally free writing activities. All the activities are
provided with suggested answers which teachers can use as sample for their pupils. All
the activities are designed accordingly to the stipulated topics for the primary school
English Language syllabus.
With this module designed and published, PPD hopes that teachers in the district
will make use of it as a reference in the teaching of writing for answering the 014/2 in the
UPSR.
