Lesson details
Key learning points
- Perspective is the way someone thinks, feels or sees something.
- Florence Nightingale went to the Crimean War to help the wounded soldiers. She was shocked by what she saw.
- Notes are used when making a plan and they are short and only capture key vocabulary and important information.
- Notes are not written in full sentences and do not require capital letters, full stops or commas.
Keywords
Perspective - the way someone thinks, feels or sees something
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Notes - written out of full sentences
Common misconception
Pupils may want to include details in their plan from other times in Florence's life.
Ensure the children are clear that this entry is about just one day, the day she arrived at the hospital in Crimea. Use the three sections in the planning form to reiterate the key moments - arriving, seeing soldiers on the floor, the hospital food.
