Following on from the previous lesson, students will craft their linguistic devices into their writing using a visual stimulus. This lesson covers an introduction to planning, but predominantly focuses on the use of linguistic devices and varied vocabulary (LP1, Q5 – A05 – Strand 3)

Students will be exploring a range of linguistic devices and securing their understanding of their definitions, use and effect. This will then be applied to an example of creative writing called ‘This is War’. Students need to identify the features in the crafted example, allowing them to incorporate this into their own piece.

Students will complete a baseline assessment to demonstrate their current ability to write descriptively. This will inform planning for week three and establish the needs of the group. To support marking of this, please use the ‘Whole-Class Feedback’ sheet attached in the week one folder.

Students will gain an initial understanding of the genre to support their homework research, which will include conventions and key-terms to be utilised throughout the topic. Students should be informed of their assessment task and informed of the skills they will need to develop over the course of this term.
