Planning the second recount paragraph of a journalistic report about the Titanic
I can use research to plan the recount paragraph, focusing on the Titanic's interiors and facilities.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- The purpose of a recount paragraph is to give the reader specific information about an aspect of the topic.
- Non-finite complex sentences are formed of a main clause and a non-finite subordinate clause.
- Varying sentence types and structure enhance text cohesion.
- When we plan, bullet points are used that are written in note form.
Common misconception
Pupils' non-finite complex sentences won't make sense if both clauses have different subjects.
Make explicit reference to the subject that performs the verb in each non-finite clause being the same subject in the main clause.
