Why this why now
This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of writing in a non-fiction style from the Year 1 unit 'School trip: writing a recount'. Here, pupils write formal instructions, including a title and ingredients list, for a fantasy pizza. They learn about imperative verbs and how to stretch initial ideas for adjectives into more precise ones to write clear instructions. Pupils focus on using capital letters, full stops and commas after sequencing fronted adverbials. This unit prepares pupils for more non-fiction writing in the Year 2 unit 'The Great Fire of London: non-chronological report'.
Prior knowledge requirements
- A verb is a doing or a being word.
- Full sentences have capital letters and full stops.
- Non-fiction texts are about real things.
- An adjective describes a noun.
- Fronted adverbials of time are sentence starters that tell the reader when something is happening.
