Written competence is one of the main challenges in primary school education. This is the reason why new ways of approaching writing didactics in primary teacher education need to be explored. This article presents an innovation project developed with students of a degree in Education. As a part of the Language Didactics subject, they design and implement learning activities to help elementary school students learn to write an opinion text. The project is structured in several sessions over a semester, in which each future teacher works with a student to carry out the respective learning sequence individually. These sequences are designed based on the adaptation of teaching strategies resulting from several research that focuses on the didactics of written composition. For teacher training, this project allows future teachers to recognize the writing level of primary school children, design a sequence of activities to teach a specific discursive genre, implement this real sequence, and reflect on the challenges and obstacles of its implementation. For the primary educational center, this experience helps develop their pupils' writing competence, attend to them individually, provides teachers with an update on writing instruction, and offers the school new proposals to work on written expression. In conclusion, despite the limitations, the project offers a real opportunity for future teachers and connects university and school to develop their teaching identity.
