Lesson details
Key learning points
- A subheading signals to the reader what the section is about.
- Careful selection of nouns and pronouns ensures cohesion within sentences and across sections of the report.
- A section about one feature of the report's subject contains specific facts and information to keep the reader engaged.
- Writers choose varied fronted adverbials and different sentence types to ensure the text flows for the reader.
- Sentences should be said aloud before writing to ensure they make sense and read back once written to check for errors.
Common misconception
Pupils copy notes directly from their plans without forming full sentences.
Pupils should say the sentence aloud first, then write it out. Finally, pupils should check their writing for sense and punctuation.
