Lesson details
Key learning points
- The purpose of the build-up is to develop the characters and build up the excitement.
- When we plan, we log precise and ambitious vocabulary to help paint vivid pictures for our reader.
- Fronted adverbials of time, place and manner are included in a plan to add extra detail about the action.
- A plan is most often written in note-form, out of full sentences.
Keywords
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Notes - written out of full sentences
Ambitious vocabulary - high-level language in writing that meets the text purpose
Fronted adverbial - sentence starter followed by a comma
Common misconception
Planning needs to be detailed and include full sentences.
Planning should only log key vocabulary and it should be written in note-form using bullet points.
Re-read the build-up several times so that pupils are clear about which moments of 'Jabberwocky' are in the build-up.
