  • Term 1: Week 3

     
    Plan: Formal Writing continued     

    Our context for this term is "Face Off Challenge!" This, to me, means fostering positive relationships at school and tackling social issues whilst overcoming challenges. In addition, we will be looking at conflict resolution and standing together in the face of adversity. 

    Success Criteria for Term 1: We are learning to...

    1) Recognize areas of personal development with formal writing and answer the question: "What do I need to do/change to improve my writing?"

        - Recall what PEEL paragraphs are and how to write them

        - Recall the Introduction Triangle and using it to start an essay

        - Recall and use the Essay Checklist format 


    2) Analyse at least 3-4 different forms of poetry and to determine what made the poem successful/meaningful 

    3) Understand the meaning of the author's or poet's purpose

    4) Create our own pieces of poetry using the knowledge we have gained through poetry analysis

    5) Name the conventions and recognize the language features and techniques used in creative writing - using these to create our own short stories

    6) Draft short story plans and edit our own writing
