Case 
scenario
You 
have 
decided 
to 
read 
Lev 
Vygotsky’s 
Mind 
in 
Society
book 
– 
freely 
available 
online 
– 
and 
as 
you 
reach 
Chapter 
8 
you 
encounter 
the 
following 
lines:
Writing 
should 
be 
meaningful 
for 
children, 
that 
an 
intrinsic 
need 
should 
be 
aroused 
in 
them, 
and 
that 
writing 
should 
be 
incorporated 
into 
a 
task 
that 
is 
necessary 
and 
relevant 
for 
life.
Discussion 
points
●
●
What 
evidence 
of 
this 
do 
you 
see 
in 
your 
school?
●
●
How 
might 
we 
bring 
meaning 
and 
relevance 
to 
writing 
in 
a 
seven 
or 
a 
ten-year-old 
child?
●
●
What 
might 
this 
look 
like 
in 
the 
context 
of 
a 
FL 
scheme 
of 
work?
●
●
Is 
this 
just 
about 
Literacy 
(reading 
and 
writing)?
Vygotsky 
poses 
that 
play 
is 
essential 
to 
children’s 
social 
and 
cognitive 
development, 
so 
this 
perhaps 
may 
help 
in 
your 
discussion 
points 
above. 
However, 
we 
must 
be 
careful 
not 
to 
be 
simplistic 
in 
our 
interpretation 
of 
‘play’. 
Play 
is 
a 
signicant 
and 
essential 
aspect 
of 
children’s 
lives, 
and 
they 
will 
spontaneously 
construct 
play
