Lesson details
Key learning points
- The subheading ‘Jobs and books’ tells the reader what the section will be about.
- The plan should include any other jobs the author had and their journey to becoming an author in chronological order.
- The plan should include a piece of current information about the author or other books by them to end the section.
- Notes are used when making a plan and capture key vocabulary and important information.
- Notes are not written in full sentences and do not require capital letters or full stops.
Keywords
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Notes - written out of full sentences
Information - facts learned about something or someone
Chronological - following the order in which a series of events happened
Common misconception
Children may find it difficult to incorporate linguistic features that highlight chronology in their plan.
Highlight the use of 'after education' and 'eventually' in the model notes on slide 17 as examples of language that support in communicating the chronology of the author's career. Ask the children to brainstorm other examples.
