Lesson details
Key learning points
- Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to order notes.
- Viewpoint fronted adverbials and formal fronted adverbials are used at the start of sentences for cohesion.
- The purpose of the diet paragraph is to show how the diet of the Mesolithic period differed to that of the Neolithic.
- Mesolithic people were nomadic hunter-gatherers (they hunted animals and foraged for berries for food.)
- Neolithic people began farming, growing crops and using domesticated animals.
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
Hunter-gatherer - a person who hunted animals and foraged for berries and other natural products for food.
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.
Supplement pupil knowledge of the diet in the Mesolithic and Neolithic period with additional videos, images and research.
