<p><strong>KS3 Non-Fiction Writing Scheme of Work</strong></p> <p>This PowerPoint contains twenty one-hour lessons (233 slides) that focus on nonfiction writing skills, and is aimed at Key Stage Three.</p> <p>There are a wide range of tasks (lessons listed below) that focus on building the key skills of nonfiction writing: planning, language and structure methods, accurate punctuation, vocabulary and proofreading. There are practice questions, original non-fiction model responses, extension tasks, punctuation activities, and a whole bunch more! I have also included a second PowerPoint that can be printed as a resource booklet for students. This will save you time in printing and slicing (and will also save you a fortune on glue sticks!).</p> <p>Additionally, there are weekly homework tasks. And three printable sheets that can be used as KS3 nonfiction cover work if you are in a pinch.</p> <p>The premise is that students would gather information about a particular non- fiction topic by watching a documentary. They would then learn about the form of the text and plan their responses thoroughly. They would then learn a new skill and use this to complete some extended writing, before proofreading and editing their work. As a result, for some texts, they will be planning and writing over multiple lessons to really give them the chance to develop and hone their non-fiction writing skills.</p> <p>Please Note: The longer documentaries are available on Netflix; however, I have also provided alternatives on YouTube for teachers that do not have access to a Netflix account.</p> <p>Areas covered:<br /> Lesson 1: Baseline assessment on tackling climate change<br /> Lesson 2: Editing letters on education<br /> Lesson 3: Exciting introductions on filters<br /> Lesson 4: Writing leaflets on homelessness<br /> Lesson 5: Watching the world water crisis documentary<br /> Lesson 6: Planning, introductions and speech features<br /> Lesson 7: Writing a speech on the world water crisis<br /> Lesson 8: Headlines and newspaper features<br /> Lesson 9: Watching the fast food documentary<br /> Lesson 10: Discourse markers and planning articles<br /> Lesson 11: Writing an article on fast food<br /> Lesson 12: Midterm assessment on fast fashion<br /> Lesson 13: Watching the gender pay gap documentary<br /> Lesson 14: Structural features and letter planning<br /> Lesson 15: Writing a letter on the gender pay gap<br /> Lesson 16: Midterm assessment feedback<br /> Lesson 17: Watching the plastics documentary<br /> Lesson 18: Persuasive methods and planning texts<br /> Lesson 19: Writing the KS3 non-fiction writing end of unit assessment<br /> Lesson 20: Writing leaflets on our planet<br /> Extra: Three cover lessons</p> <p>Both the scheme and the resource booklet and provided in PPT and PDF formats.</p> <p>My GCSE Paper Two: Section B scheme of work can be found here:<br /> <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-11873033">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-11873033</a></p> <p>Please check out my other resources.<br /> Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
