Morning Class 3,
I hope you are having a good week so far.
Below are some learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | To research and plan writing a non-chronological report. | |
| Main input | Ask children the difference between chronological and non-chronological reports. Discuss. Explain that they are going to write a non-chronological report on ????. Refer to the Mind map written in lesson one. Is this chronological? Why? Look at a range of non-chronological reports. Look at the structure and language features of the texts. What do they have in common. Talk together about layout and how can they grab the reader’s attention? Is the language of a report formal or informal? What do these terms mean? What literary devices will they need to consider when writing? How does the language of openers differ from say, a narrative piece of writing? Using the research they have collected so far, create a mind map of ideas for headings/sub headings that could be used within the main body of their reports. Explain that today the children can plan in whatever style suits them. Show the children that they might want to use bullet points, post-its etc. Guide the children as to what they might want to use as headings. | |
| Activities MUST | Using the information collected in previous lessons and laptops for further research, children are to plan their sections, headings and what information they want to include in their report. Provide large sheets of A3 and plain and lined A4, along with felt tip pens and post-it notes (if available), so that the children can plan freely and in their own style. | |
| SHOULD | As above, but it is expected that they plan for a paragraph about ‘??????’- what information might they add into this. | |
| COULD | Notice there will be a shift in tense and perhaps formality. | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Look at report writing for other types of genre- newspaper/ magazine/ advertisement. Formal language and tone for report writing. |
