Literacy Extension Work Week 3 - 29th March - 3rd April
If you have fully completed the Week 1 & Week 2 tasks on Explanations please see the link below which will take you to a video on Geysers. You can complete an Explanation on this phenomenon using the video link and guidelines below.
Here is a
link for parents to get more information about the genre:
Explanation
Writing Task: Over the course of the third week of closure, we would
like the children to write an Explanation text about How Geysers are Formed.
Steps to
follow to successfully complete this task:
1) Follow
this link to a video explaining how geysers are formed and take notes, these
notes will help you to plan and write your explanation text. Listen and watch
the video about 3 times in order to record your notes.
2) Write up your Plan
On a new
page of your copy create a Writing Plan to plan your explanation in your
copy using the following sections
Title:
Definition: What is
being explained in this text
Description – The
description needs to be broken up into parts which explain the cause and effect
of how geysers are formed.
Application – how does
this information about geysers help us in our everyday lives? How can this
knowledge be applied.
Evaluative
Summary – is having a good understanding of how geysers work
useful, any special features?
3) Using
your plan begin to write our your first draft
4) Re-
read your first draft and edit it to make it better- this
means making corrections and edits on the page. Check your capital
letters, spelling and punctuation. Can I expand on my language and vocabulary?
Have I included cause and effect when explaining the parts? Have I used present
tense verbs and connectives at the beginning of each paragraph? Would a diagram
help to explain any aspect of this? Have I included technical language?
5) Write
out your second draft and make sure you have included all of the corrections
and improvements. Read it back to yourself , does it flow and make sense , read
it to an audience can they understand what you are trying to explain? Listen to
their feedback and edit it again to make it even better!
6) Publish!
Your published piece needs to be written into your copy neatly and tidily. You
are aiming for no mistakes in this final piece.
Here is a
suggested time frame:
Monday : Note
taking from video, using a dictionary to look up technical vocab that you don’t
understand
Tuesday - look
at the planning framework to help structure ideas and write your plan into your
copy book , then begin your first draft.
Wednesday - Finish
first draft in copies and re –read it , checking for spellings , punctuation ,
organisation and structure. Look at adding detail and maybe rephrasing
parts to improve it, check from your note taking if there is anything else you
can add to expand on the content.
Thursday -
Write out their second draft into copies, read it to an audience,
improve it!
Friday – Publish
your final piece – you are aiming for no mistakes!
As the
children are in 5th class we expect their presentation to be neat and
tidy; margins and headings to be ruled in red pen and neat handwriting
throughout. We want to see all the planning, drafts and redrafts , this can
show us how the children have developed their writing over the course of a
week.
