Lesson details
Key learning points
- Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to order notes.
- The purpose of the paragraph is to explain how King Tut died and what happened when his tomb was discovered.
- Fronted adverbials of cause and formal fronted adverbials are used at the start of sentences for cohesion.
- A subheading signals part of a a text and should stand out from the rest of the text.
- The plan should include subject-specific vocabulary.
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 - written out of full sentences
Common misconception
Planning needs to be detailed and include full sentences.
Planning should only have keywords and be written in note-from using bullet points.
Pupils can practise writing full sentences using their notes on mini-whiteboards ahead of writing this section.
