This week of Literacy focuses on writing biographies. The class really enjoyed learning about the celebrities in this week’s Literacy lessons, especially Taylor Swift and Christiano Ronaldo!
Day 1: Reading comprehension focus – children read biographies of a celebrity and answer differentiated (retrieval and inference) questions about the text. This gives them an opportunity to experience high quality, short biographies.
Day 2: Children practise using adverbial phrases ready to use them in their own writing. Differentiated worksheets (as for all lessons) are included for their activities.
Day 3: Children practise organising information into paragraphs by sorting information from biographies into subheadings.
Day 4&5: Children write their own biography about either Christiano Ronaldo or Taylor Swift after going through a good example on the IWB. Differentiated success criteria is included.
