Description
Modality is one of those concepts that sounds technical until you explain it simply — and once students get it, you start seeing it everywhere in their writing. This mat makes sure they're using it on purpose, not by accident.
3 categories, 72 carefully chosen modal words that help students control the strength and certainty of everything they write.
What's Included:
- 3 categories of modality for more nuanced, intentional writing:
- Low Modality
- Medium Modality
- High Modality
- 24 examples for each category so students always have the right word within reach
- Bright, student-friendly layout designed for easy independent use
- Perfect for desks, writing folders or small group work
Why it works:
The real lightbulb moment with modality is when students realise that swapping one word can completely change the strength of their argument or the certainty of their statement. "This could work" hits very differently to "this will work" — and once they understand that, their persuasive writing becomes so much more deliberate and powerful. 😄
Print, laminate, hand them out — job done.
