A swing in direction

Today we are ‘beginning our film reviews’.

Learning Objectives:

1. To have an awareness of audience in our writing
2. to be able to spell accurately

Vocabulary

Topic Sentence Structure

Audience                      Paragraph

Students use the dictionary to write definitions for their vocabulary list.

Students then write three sentences

1. To their grandparents.
2. A text to a friend (100 letters max)
3. Their teacher.

The only rule is that they have to be thinking about what each person they are writing to might want to read.  (awareness of audience).  They must also spell each word correctly.

Reflection

Students enjoyed the activity but were a little perplexed. One idea would have been to give them a sentence for each type and get them to re-write them for a different audience.
