This engaging and purposeful lesson is the sixth and final lesson in a series of lessons that enable children to gradually build towards composing an effective, well-structured recount. This lesson focuses on helping children to edit and redraft their recount compositions.
The eye-catching and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (18 slides) guides teachers and children along the following learning journey:
-Understanding why the learning is important, following a video (hyperlinked) which helps to outline why editing and redrafting is important. Listening to facts about how published artists repeatedly edit and redraft their work;
-SPAG starter: Correcting basic SPAG errors in sentences, including spelling/ homophones, inconsistent tense, and omitted capital letters/ punctuation;
-Applying this knowledge to proof-read and edit their own compositions;
-Revisiting the key features of recounts and ensuring that these features are embedded within their own writing;
-Learning the meaning of the term ‘uplevelling’ and understanding how more precise verbs, nouns and adjectives can impact on a sentence;
-Employing this knowledge to uplevel their own recount compositions;
-Once they are happy with their edits, following clear success criteria for redrafting their writing;
-Reflecting on their learning from across the unit.
These lessons were originally created for children in lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4). The focus of the recount in these resources is a ‘journey’, but the resources have been made in a way that they can be easily adapted to your chosen topic/ subject matter.
