Structured Literacy - Teaching writing through a SL lens - Wednesday 20th + Monday 25th November

Appositives

An appositive is a second noun or phrase that is placed beside another noun to explain it more fully.
Don't use 'who', 'which'  - that makes it a clause.

'However', 'therefore', and 'consequently', 'for that reason' are not conjunctions! They are adverbs.

They can not be in the middle of a sentence. If used, begin a new sentence.

Use a comma after writing the word.

  

Sentence Combining

You can give specific cues, eg. use a conjunction to join these sentences. 

Underlining and Note-Taking

Paragraphs

SPO (Single Paragraph Outline)

A single paragraph outline - SPO is a TWR template students used to write a single paragraph. It needs a Topic Sentence (T.S), supporting details (S.D), and a Concluding Sentence (C.S).

Great way to begin paragraphs (choose 1)

- Sentence types (question, exclamation, command, statement)

- Subordinating conjunctions

- Appositive (interrupter)

You can introduce paragraph writing in Year 1. 'We do' activity = shared writing.

Begin with a really broad topic sentence.  Brainstorm ideas. 

Revising is different to editing - important to distinguish difference for students.

Revising: means clarifying and altering the content or structure of a draft - at its core

revising requires writers to put themselves in the shoes of the reader.

Editing: it involves identifying and then correcting.
