'hand' graphic organiser

Just wanted to compliment Maureen. This simple idea is a perfect follow-up on paragraph lessons to enable learners to put paragraphing into practice for themselves. It has helped a number of my learners to organise their writing much more effectively than in the past and its simplicity has helped a lot of people become less intimidated at the prospect of planning writing.
