Hello, everyone.

It's Mr. Brown here with your English lesson for today, and we are planning.

We are planning to write a section of a non-chronological report, and this section is all about Mary Seacole.

So we are planning a section of a non-chronological report, and this section is on Mary Seacole.

Let's get started.

The outcome for today's lesson is I can make a plan for writing about Mary Seacole in a non-chronological report.

The keywords we'll use are plan, notes, non-chronological report.

Let's say there's together, my turn, your turn.

Plan, notes, non-chronological report.

Well done.

Very good.

So we'll start by preparing to plan, and then we'll move on to writing the plan itself.

In this lesson, you are planning to write a non-chronological report.

The report will be about two famous people who made a huge difference in the world of medical care, and those people are Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.

So we have focused on Florence Nightingale.

This is now time for Mary Seacole.

This is the section on Mary Seacole.

A non-chronological report is a type of non-fiction text.

It provides factual information about a subject, person, or event.

This means that the writer cannot make up the information using their imagination, like they would do if it was fiction writing.

Non-chronological.

Well, that means it's not necessarily written in the order in which the events happened.

Chronological means in time order.

If it's non chronological, then it's not in time order.

Let's check your understanding.

True or false? A non-chronological report is a type of non-fiction text.

Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back, everyone.

So a non-chronological report is a type of non-fiction text, so well done if you said true.

It is a type of non-fiction text.

The sections of a non-chronological report are structured in this order.

We have the introduction, section one, section two, and the conclusion, and the introduction and section one have already been written.

So in this lesson, we are planning the second section, which will be about Mary Seacole.

The introduction and section one have already been written.

Let's have a look at them.

This is our report on Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.

Here's the introduction.

I will read it to you now.

"Were you aware that hospitals were not always hygienic and organised like they are today?" Question mark.

"Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole helped to improve hospitals a long time ago.

This informative report will teach you all about their lives and how they cared for soldiers during the Crimean War.

Read on to find out more about these brave women." That's your introduction, and section one was about Florence Nightingale.

Fabulous or fabulous, fantastic Florence Nightingale.

You could use fabulous, couldn't you? It would still be alliteration with that.

Fantastic Florence, fabulous Florence.

"Fantastic.

Florence Nightingale.

Florence Nightingale was born in 1820.

Interestingly, she was born in Florence in Italy and her parents named her after the city.

Were you aware that Florence moved to England when she was a baby? Surprisingly, Florence wanted to become a nurse, but her parents did not like this idea.

However, she trained anyway.

In 1853, the Crimean War started and Florence wanted to help.

Incredibly, Florence and the team of nurses made the dangerous journey to Crimea.

Shockingly, the hospital in Crimea was unhygienic and disorganised, and Florence started cleaning straight away so it was a safe place for the soldiers to get better.

After the war, Florence set up a nurse training school in London and wrote books to train nurses, too." So that's your section on Florence Nightingale, and you could see there were lots of viewpoint-fronted adverbials, like surprisingly, incredibly, shockingly.

These are excellent to use when you want to share your opinion as the writer.

So in my opinion, the fact that Florence wanted to become a nurse but her parents didn't like the idea, I thought that was quite surprising, so I chose, "Surprisingly," comma, "Florence wanted to become a nurse but her parents did not like that idea." So I'm using a viewpoint-fronted adverbial.

Let's see if we can keep that skill going in today's lesson.

And here you can see how the report will look in its entirety, with section two highlighted, because that's the section we're focusing on today.

In this lesson, you will be making a brief plan that will support you in writing a section of a non-chronological report on Mary Seacole.

A plan helps a writer to organise their ideas, thoughts, and the information they want to include in their writing.

However, in order to plan effectively, you will need to prepare by becoming familiar with the key information you'll be sharing in the second section of your report, today's section.

True or false? A plan helps a writer to organise their ideas, thoughts, and information that they want to include in their writing.

Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back, everyone.

A plan helps a writer to organise their ideas, thoughts, and information they want to include in their writing.

It's true, it does.

It is a great way to prepare to write, to organise those ideas.

Definitely we want to be using a plan, and that's what we're doing today.

To inform the reader all about Mary Seacole, you'll need to have a good knowledge yourself, so we will now revise your knowledge of Mary Seacole so you are ready to write your plan.

If you have no knowledge of Mary Seacole, you are coming to this fresh, that's absolutely fine.

You will gain the knowledge in this lesson, too.

If you already have spent some time learning about Mary Seacole, this will be revision for you, which means going over the information again to make sure it's definitely in your head and you're familiar and are ready to start using it in your writing.

Mary Seacole was born in Jamaica in 1805, and Jamaica was part of the British Empire, which means that Britain ruled over the island.

This meant that it was almost like Jamaica was part of Britain.

Mary's mother was a doctress, and through her, Mary learned how to become a doctress, too.

A doctress is a female doctor, and it's a word that we don't use anymore.

Instead, we use the same word, which is doctor, for both men and women.

True or false? A doctress was the name for a junior doctor.

Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Let's see if you were right.

A doctress was the name for a junior doctor? Not a junior doctor.

It was just the name for a female doctor, so that is false.

Well done if you said false.

When Mary was visiting England, she heard about the horrors of the Crimean War.

She heard that thousands of people were dying and that the hospitals in Crimea were unhygienic and disorganised.

Mary didn't want to stand by and do nothing, so she volunteered to travel to Crimea and work at a hospital to help care for the injured soldiers.

However, even though she volunteered, the army turned her down.

They did not let her join the group of nurses they were sending to Crimea to help the wounded and sick soldiers.

So what did Mary do? Well, she would not let this stop her, and she used her own money to travel the incredibly long journey to Crimea, which took her three months.

When she arrived in Crimea, Mary Seacole set up a hospital to care for the soldiers, and she called this the British Hotel, and it was only two miles from the front line where the soldiers were fighting, so it was very close to the very dangerous places where the fighting was happening.

The British Hotel was clean and well-organized and many sick and injured soldiers went there for treatment.

The hotel even sold food and drink so soldiers could visit just to buy some food and drink, too.

True or false? Mary Seacole sets up a hospital called the British Hospital.

Is that true or is that false? I'm gonna say that one more time.

Listen very carefully.

Mary Seacole sets up a hospital called the British Hospital.

Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Let's see if you were right.

This was a slightly tricky one.

We know that Mary Seacole did set up a hospital and it was called the British, not Hospital, the British Hotel, so this is false.

It was not called the British Hospital.

It was called the British Hotel, even though it was a hospital.

So a little bit confusing, but well done if you said false.

After the war, Mary returned to Britain but had no home and was in poor health herself.

So working in Crimea, we can imagine what that would have been like, and it took its toll on Mary Seacole, and she was unwell and she had no home.

However, the British people heard of Mary's good work and they wanted to help her, so they held a fundraiser to raise money.

Mary Seacole was also awarded medals for her bravery and hard work.

In 1857, a book was published about her life.

It was called "The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands," and it was an autobiography.

Now, an autobiography is the life story of a person written by the person themself.

And it was the first autobiography written by a Black woman in Britain.

So a real piece of history there.

She was the first Black woman to write an autobiography in Britain.

True or false? Mary Seacole's autobiography was called "The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands." Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and decide true or false now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Let's see how you got on.

Mary Seacole's autobiography was called "The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands," is true.

It is true, that is what her autobiography was called.

Well done if you said true.

Time for a task.

I would like you to fill in the blanks using the words from the box below.

So here we have some blanks, and there is a box with five words in it.

The five words you have are Jamaica, Crimea, British, hospital, doctress, and here are the sentences with the missing words.

Mary Seacole was born in somewhere in 1805.

So where was she born? Mary's mother was a something and Mary became one too.

In 1853, a war started in.

Where did that war start? And Mary volunteered to go and help.

And finally, Mary set up a something in Crimea called the Something hotel.

Jamaica, Crimea, British, hospital, doctress.

They are the words you are using.

It is over to you now to fill in the blanks.

Pause the video and have a go for yourself now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Let's see how you got on.

Did you manage to fill in the blanks correctly? So Mary Seacole was born in Jamaica in 1805.

Mary's mother was a doctress and Mary became one too.

In 1853, a war started in Crimea and Mary volunteered to go and help.

Mary set up a hospital in Crimea called the British Hotel.

Well done if you managed to fill in those blanks correctly.

You did that using your knowledge of Mary Seacole's life, which is what you will need to be able to write a section about her.

Let's move on to writing the plan.

When we write a plan, we use notes.

Now, notes are short and capture key vocabulary and important information, and the purpose of notes is to help the writer to organise information easily for future use.

Now, we use bullet points when we're note-taking.

Bullet points look like this, like a thick full stop, floating halfway up between each line on the page, and then you write information next to it.

Which two of these are things that notes help us to capture? A, key vocabulary, B, correct punctuation, C, full sentences, or D, important information? Which two of these are things that notes help us to capture? A, B, C, D? Choose two and pause the video to do this now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Let's see if you managed to find the two correct answers.

Well done If you said A, key vocabulary, and D, important information.

These are the things that we are capturing with our notes.

Well done if you said A and D.

Notes are not written in full sentences, do not require capital letters, full stops, or commas.

They can be made of just a few words, and the writer making the notes just needs to understand them.

They are the only person that the notes are for.

The writer will then take the notes and turn them into full sentences.

And here's an example of some notes from a plan about Mary Seacole.

Born in Jamaica, 1805.

So you can see straight away, this is not a full sentence.

Then there's a dash.

Mother was doctress, another dash, Mary became one too.

We are not writing in full sentences.

You can see punctuation is missing.

Now there are capital letters for Jamaica and for Mary, because they are the names of people and places, so we want to make sure even in our notes in our plan that we're still giving those capital letters.

Now, the writer can take these notes and turn them into full sentences.

For example, were you aware that Mary Seacole was born in Jamaica in 1805? Question mark.

So the writer's not just taken those notes and put them into a full sentence.

The writer's taken those notes and put them into a question.

Mary became a doctress when she grew up, full stop.

She followed in the footsteps of her mother, because she was a doctress, too.

So you can see it says, "Mother was doctress," and in the sentence says, "She followed in the footsteps of her mother, because she was a doctress too." Really good example of how you can take notes and turn them into full sentences.

Which notes helped the writer to write this sentence? Mary heard about the Crimean war, so volunteered to travel there and help.

However, the army did not allow her to go.

A, set up hospital, brackets, British Hotel, dash, travelled to/from the battlefield to help.

B, volunteered Crimean War, army said no, paid to go herself, three months.

Or C, after war wrote autobiography, first Black woman in Britain to do so.

Which one of those notes helped the writer write this sentence? I'm gonna read it one more time.

Mary heard about the Crimean War, so volunteered to travel there and help.

However, the army did not allow her to go.

What do you think? Is it A, B, or C? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Okay, let's have a look.

So the first note, A, said, "Set up a hospital, British Hotel." So there's nothing in this sentence about the British Hotel, and I feel like if it were to be A, you would definitely see those words in there, wouldn't you? British Hotel, so I don't think it's A.

C, after war wrote autobiography.

Now, there's nothing about autobiography, 'cause this sentence is about volunteering to go to Crimea.

So I think it's going to be B, volunteered Crimean War.

Yeah, army said no, paid to go herself, three months.

Now, we have got Mary heard about the Crimea war, so volunteered to travel there and help.

However, the army did not allow her to go.

We haven't said about the three months yet, but we might include that in our next sentence, but already you can see that B is the notes that would have allowed us to write this sentence.

Well done if you said B.

Time for a task.

I would like you to write at least four sets of notes about Mary Seacole.

Use the words in the box to help guide you.

The words you have are Crimean War, three months, British Hotel, battlefield, autobiography.

If you can include those five things, then you will be well on your way to writing some very detailed notes.

I'd like you to use bullet points for each notes, and I'm asking for at least four sets of notes.

Now I'll show you my first example, and you can use this if you want to, or it can just inspire you to look at what notes might look like.

Born in Jamaica 1805, dash, mother was doctress, dash, Mary became one too.

So now it's over to you.

I would like you to pause the video and write your notes all about the life of Mary Seacole.

You can do this now.

Welcome back, everyone.

Okay, it is time to have a look at some notes and let's see how close these notes are to your notes.

So we've got volunteered, Crimean War, dash, army said no, dash, paid to go herself, dash, three months.

Then set up hospital, in brackets, British Hotel, so we don't forget the name of the hospital, and then to/from the battlefield to help.

And finally, after war, wrote autobiography, first Black woman in Britain to do so.

Those notes will allow me to write full sentences in my section on Mary Seacole.

Let's summarise our fabulous learning today.

A non-chronological report is a type of non-fiction text.

It provides information on a subject, a person or event.

Notes are used when making a plan and they are short to only capture key vocabulary and important information.

And then, notes are not written in full sentences and they do not require capital letters, full stops, or commas.

Well done today.

You are in a great position now to be able to write a section of a non-chronological report, and that section will be about Mary Seacole.

I will see you very soon.
