Planning a section about Anglo-Saxon farming for a non-chronological report
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can plan the farming section of a non-chronological report about Anglo-Saxons.
Key learning points
- The plan includes keywords and subject-specific vocabulary related to the section.
- Taking notes is a skill.
- Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to order notes.
- Key vocabulary and linguistic devices should be logged in a plan.
- The plan should be clearly structured in the order of the section.
Keywords
Subject-specific vocabulary - vocabulary used when writing about a particular subject
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Notes - written out of full sentences
Common misconception
Planning needs to be detailed and plans should be written in full sentences.
Planning should log key vocabulary, linguistic devices and be written in note-from using bullet points.
Teacher tip
Find video clips or images of Anglo-Saxon farming, livestock and crops for engagement and to support further understanding.
