Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to order notes.
  2. The purpose of the paragraph is to explain how King Tut died and what happened when his tomb was discovered.
  3. Fronted adverbials of cause and formal fronted adverbials are used at the start of sentences for cohesion.
  4. A subheading signals part of a a text and should stand out from the rest of the text.
  5. The plan should include subject-specific vocabulary.

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.

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

Pupils can practise writing full sentences using their notes on mini-whiteboards ahead of writing this section.
