Subject: English Year Group: 1 Week Commencing: 4/5/20 For subject information, games and activities to support this planning, please also look on the ‘Help your child with English’ document saved on the class page.
Date: 4/5/20 Lesson Objective: To develop positive attitudes and stamina for writing by writing short narratives. Activity: This week you are going to using your plan for your adapted story in the style of The Singing Mermaid to become authors and write up your final draft! You will take you time to write each section up, day by day adding another part to the story. In class, when we do a ‘big write’ we use a writing toolkit to help us. This toolkit helps us to remember all of the important things that we need to include in our writing and we refer to it before and after we have written each section. At the end of the week, we tick off all of the areas that we feel we have included in our writing. Look at the writing toolkit for this week and discuss the different criteria you are going to include- the ‘reach for the sky’ section is where you can really push yourself to include amazing features in your story. Read back at your plan for the beginning section of the story. This is what you are going to be writing today! Task 1 Write the beginning section of your adapted story- remember you are going to have to be a ‘keep going koala’ to write all of the sentences and include all of the information that you will need. A template with lines and spaces for illustrations is provided but you could also use a lined notebook for your story if you would prefer. Just don’t forget to leave space for illustrations- you will be going back later on in the week to add pictures to your story.
Date: 5/5/20 Lesson Objective: To develop positive attitudes and stamina for writing by writing short narratives. Activity: Read back through the beginning section of your adapted story that you wrote yesterday. Look back through the writing toolkit to remind yourself of some of the features you need to include. Are there any that you could improve on from yesterday? What might you need to focus on today? Read back through your plan for the middle part of the story- this is what you are going to be writing today. Task 2 You are going to be writing the middle part of your story- remember to read your last sentence from the beginning section so that when you start writing it will make sense! Keep being a brilliant ‘keep going koala!’.
Date: 6/5/20 Lesson Objective: To develop positive attitudes and stamina for writing by writing short narratives. Activity: Read back through the beginning and middle section of your adapted story that you have written so far. Look back at the writing toolkit again and consider which features you have already used well or any that you might want to include today. Read back through the plan for the end of your story- this is what you are going to be writing today. Task 3 You are going to be writing the end of your story. Remember, like you did yesterday, read the last sentence of the middle section to make sure that when you start writing it will make sense. When you have finished today you would have become a real life author and written your own story. Wow!
Date: 7/5/20 Lesson Objective: To add illustrations to your new story. Activity: The first thing you are going to do today is use your toolkit to ‘tick off’ which features you have included and which features might be your ‘next step’ to try to include in your next piece of writing. Give yourself a tick next to each feature if you have included it in your writing. Remember for features like capital letters and full stops it needs to be consistent and for features like an exclamation sentence, it might only be included once. You might want to go back and edit some of your work as you do this. Use the toolkit to think about what your next step for your writing might be- maybe it is making sure you are using conjunctions? Maybe it is writing in the correct tense? Task 4 Now you are going to become an illustrator and use drawings and pictures to make your stories even better! This is a chance to really bring your new characters and settings ‘to life’! If you have used some brilliant adjectives to describe your characters and settings then make sure to include those features in your drawings.
