<br/><br/>"Factual writing: exploring and challenging social reality describes the different types of writing that are used as tools of communication in the adult world, and compares the writing tasks that teachers set their pupils and the ways in which they measure their success. By analysing the different skills required within the school context and the outside world, J.R. Martin suggests how the education process could become appropriate to the needs of the individual."
