Week beginning:  Friday 20^th March 2020

Thursday – Read pages 18-21. Respond to the questions in your book.

Writing

Monday – Turn to your writing work. Respond to the Grammar fluency sheet and answer the task about where the paragraphs end and begin. All you need to do is use a pen to mark where the paragraphs end, and thus, begin.

Challenge – Look at the Busy Place sheet. Use the sheet to label thinking and develop thoughts about what is happening in your Busy Place. Follow the guidance on the sheet and create a set of mini-thoughts to write about. Refer to the LO in your thinking.

Tuesday – Write a detailed description about your Busy Place that follows the LO and write no more than two pages.

Consider the targets you have been working on in class and think about balancing action, description, dialogue and character thoughts and feelings. Use coordinating conjunctions to link independent clauses together and subordinating conjunctions (that create subordinate clauses) to start sentences in different ways.

If you are thinking of greater depth writing, consider the impact your writing has on the audience and the feeling you want the reader to have, as a result. Apply a range of punctuation, including parenthesis, in order to be precise and to clarify meaning.

Wednesday – Continue writing your Busy Place piece.

Thursday – Check and edit your piece.

Friday – On your small sheet, plan and think about your, ‘Most valuable and important job in the world is…’ piece of writing.

Use the one-and-a-half pages to start writing the persuasive piece. Follow the guidelines written on the sheet.
