Kindness

LI:To edit our writing using Draft  

Today we worked in pairs and created an abstract noun poem  to show what kindness means. When our poem was complete we used DRAFT to check our work and make it more powerful to read.

DRAFT means:  Delete , Rearrange, Add , Fix, Talk

In our poem we used the Five senses which are taste, smell, hear,  touch, feel and see .
We checked for correct punctuation including capital letters, full stops and commas.

An abstract noun is one that refers to an idea, quality or state that you cannot touch , see or hear.

 My partner and I enjoyed this task because it help us to get more information about kindness and help learn how to be kind.

 

Descriptive

LI: To understand how to use descriptive words to make your writing more interesting.

Our task was to describe one of the two pictures that we were given. To make this task easier we would use our prior knowledge of sentence structures, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and descriptive words to create a piece of writing that uses descriptive words to make the text exciting to read. I found this interesting DLO because it help the student and aslo makes facts about the trutle and also helps students that need help to learn and get more information about the Barn.

Sentence starters

LI: To understand how to use a variety of sentence beginnings.

This week for writing we had to be in paris that can work togther then we make a DLO to show us what are Sentence starters a Sentence starters mean Similar to sentence frames, sentence starters provide a partial frame for students to begin their sentence or idea. However, sentence starters only begin the idea, and students must complete then me and my panrter work and talk to each other about what Sentence starters we will make.

TEEL Paragraphs

 LI: To use powerful words and transitional vocabulary to make our writing more interesting

This week we have been learning to use transitional vocabulary to help us link ideas between the sentences in our paragraph. The transitional words are like the doors we walk through and to show how this works in writing we have highlighted them. I enjoyed this activity because we got to try using new words in our writing and we worked collaboratively so we got to share our ideas.

Word Cline :big

LI: To find 5 interesting words that increase in intensity (have a stronger meaning) as you move up the line. 

Today we built a word Cline for the word ‘big’. As the words go up the line they become more powerful. Here is an example of a sentence I wrote today using my word Cline. A man has 2 gigantic bull sharks.
