Using a 'Mud Map' for Genre Planning

Wise planning really is the great secret behind successful teaching and improved outcomes! Literacy expert Sharon Callen delves into 'mud mapping' as a way to plan out the teaching of different genres, as a teacher and across a school. 

She chats further about:

• What 'mud maps' are and how they work, and their importance in supporting teachers in their planning
• How to make them connect to your curriculum
• How to set about making one
• What are some of the essential tools to guide your mud mapping
• The incredible role of the mud map in driving unit planning, not just for writing, but for reading, thereby capitalising on the reciprocal nature of reading and writing - so we plan to teach our students about understanding the text type and writing in the text type concurrently.

and much more!
