This is a collection of editable resources and templates I created and used for Year 3 for a ‘Non-Fiction Discussion Text’ unit. Although I created it for Year 3, it can be easily adapted for other year groups.
Includes worksheets/templates or learning objective sheets for each stage of the writing process:
Model Text
Learning the text
Creating and performing actions
Boxing up template
Vocabulary worksheet
Conjunctions worksheet
Modal Verbs worksheet
Shared/Guided write sheet
Cold task sheet
Hot task sheet etc.
Brief lesson plans for 11 sessions
All resources are fully editable.
There are 8 non-fiction tasks in this bundle.
There is a Powerpoint lesson for each task and a student work book to accompany each lesson which includes a checklist and a suggested plan.
The tasks cover a range of purposes, audiences, formats and tones.
For each task, students fill in a checklist which they use when writing. The checklist can also be used for self or for peer assessment.
Each task should take two lessons: one lesson to review the PAFT and plan a response and the second lesson for writing the task and self/peer assessment. As students become more confident identifying the features of PAFT, a task could be completed in one lesson.
The lessons form a sequence so that students revisit the features of, for example, persuasive writing.
By using the lessons in the given order, students are encouraged to review their own work and set up their own checklists and targets. The tasks are:
Formal, friendly letter
Light-hearted advice leaflet
Serious newspaper article
Formal speech
Light-hearted magazine article
Review
Lively article
Formal letter
An A3 planning sheet to aid the planning of creating a crime-detective character whilst using a range of language devices; this can be followed up by an extended piece of creative writing.
Ideal for KS3 - years 7 or 8
This lesson introduces KS3 students to the conventions of the Detective Genre using short film clips and a fun game. This works really well as either the first lesson of a topic on this genre or as a transition day activity as the students will enjoy the lesson and be left feeling that studying English is not always reading and writing.
These sentence starters have been designed to support Upper KS2 children during independent writing in 6 different non-fiction genres:
Persuasion
Non-chronological reports
Recounts
Instructions
Formal letters
Informal letters
They can be displayed as part of of your working wall/display or they can be laminated for children to access at their tables when needed.
