  ABSTRACT: This article looks to raise awareness among practitioners and researchers of the potential of the writing plan as an important focus for formative assessment for informing teacher’s planning and students’ learning. Convergent and divergent formative assessments are highlighted in terms of study practice as well as preparation for examinations. As transactional writing has such a high profile in schools and colleges and becomes more difficult as higher levels of examination are undertaken the author looks to share why she considers transactional writing plans as a potential source for divergent formative assessment are worthy of greater consideration by practitioners and researchers.
