Lesson details
Key learning points
- Rehearsing a sentence out loud before writing it helps us to remember it
- Reading a sentence back after writing helps to check it makes sense
- Every sentence must start with a capital letter and end with a full stop
- Traditional tales tend to end with a happy ending
- Word banks help to find keywords to include in writing
Keywords
Simple sentence - a sentence about one idea that makes complete sense
Capital letter - the upper case formation of a letter
Full stop - a punctuation mark used at the end of a sentence
Adjective - describes a noun
sequence - following the order in which a series of events happened
Common misconception
Pupils may tick their success criteria without checking and correcting.
When you are modelling your write, continuously refer back to the success criteria yourself. Adapt the success criteria accordingly to help pupils experience success.
If necessary, adapt or simplify the expected sentence for some pupils. For example, for 'Suddenly, the brave goat charged at the mean troll.', use 'ran' instead of 'charged'. Constantly repeating the sentence stem will support children to hold a sentence independently.
