As a quick update to this article in 2022. Jenny Eather’s great site has been sold and does not exist as it once did. If you are looking for an equally good alternative, I strongly recommend literacyideas.com. It provides everything writingfun once did and more for free. You will not be disappointed.

I have been regularly using this site for several years to teach my students about different text types and share examples with them, and I just realised that I do not have it up on Edgalaxy. 

Jenny Eather's Writing Fun is a brilliant tool for any English teacher.  It contains step-by-step instructions on constructing all significant text types, such as persuasive, explanatory, narrative and so on and has loads of examples from students to share on your interactive whiteboard.

It also contains various planning tools and aids to help your students get the most from their writing sessions. Entirely simply, this is my number one pick for writing resources and I strongly recommend you check it out here.
