Lesson details
Key learning points
- Notes from a written plan support in writing and ensure important information is included in an information text.
- Using a range of sentence types (simple, compound and complex) in our writing helps it to flow.
- Fronted adverbials are sentence starters followed by a comma and they support text flow.
- Viewpoint fronted adverbials express the writer’s opinion and fronted adverbials of time state when something happened.
Keywords
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Text flow - how a text is written to keep the reader engaged
Fronted adverbial - a sentence starter followed by a comma
Common misconception
Children may find it difficult to generate and include the different types of fronted adverbials.
Create a shared bank of fronted adverbials that are appropriate for the text type and make sure these are available for children to support them in their writing.
