\"The figurative language is something I really value but when I'm assessing writing, say if it's Year 6 and it's expected, is it actually valued that much against the writing exemplifications we have to use? Not particularly. I put it in there as a cheese because I thought that changes a meal completely; it can change your burger completely from a burger to a cheeseburger. The really important bit for me is my toasted pine nuts under the spelling one, that's what they have there! They can transform a meal. They can transform your writing and that creative flair to me is what I want as a teacher, I want to see in there, that's what I value in their writing but on the checklist it's not valued at all, it's all this other meaty bit. You can have the burger without the toasted pine nuts. You can have the writing without that creative flair for them to get to expected.<\/span>\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
