Lesson details
Key learning points
- The appearance section informs the reader of adaptations of the spider that allow it to be a successful predator.
- Portia spiders have a range of physical adaptations.
- Viewpoint fronted adverbials and formal fronted adverbials are used at the start of sentences for cohesion.
- Facts get increasingly specific throughout one section.
- Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to order notes.
Common misconception
Planning needs to be detailed and include full sentences.
Planning should only have keywords and be written in note-from using bullet points.
Keywords
Subject-specific vocabulary - vocabulary used when writing about a particular subject
