Planning a section about Anglo-Saxon settlements for a non-chronological report

I can plan the settlements section of a non-chronological report about Anglo-Saxons.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. The plan includes keywords and subject-specific vocabulary related to the section.
  2. Taking notes is a skill.
  3. Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to order notes.
  4. Key vocabulary and linguistic devices should be logged in a plan.
  5. The plan should be clearly structured in the order of the section.

Common misconception

Planning needs to be detailed and plans should be written in full sentences.

Planning should log key vocabulary, linguistic devices and be written in note-from using bullet points.

Keywords

  • Subject-specific vocabulary - vocabulary used when writing about a particular subject

  • Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text

  • Notes - short reminders or pieces of information you write down to help you remember things when you're making a plan
