Scaffold: Reading Non Fiction and Embedding Evidence

This scaffold is used regularly to support pupils when writing about Non Fiction texts in both Unit 1 and Unit 4.

This is aimed at pupils who struggle to order their ideas and to support better timing in exams, and to develop the skill of embedding evidence.

It can also be edited for modelling in class and a springboard for Year 9 and 10 RNF.

How is it used in the classroom? When modelling answers and responses, I would use this with a visualiser. I would also print and cut them out and use them as structure strips by sticking them into the books of pupils who need help with organising their responses - feedback and improvement. Or I would laminate and hole punch them for their folders - good for SEN and TAs - that way they can use it each time I set them a question and I would ask them to check their answers or refer back to it.

Oracy - can be used as oracy support as well - ask the class to speak like an expert and use the structure strip to structure their talk.
