Week 4FT PGCE
Objectives To understand how to scaffold children’s writing through modelling of the writing process
Teachers as writers
“….teachers must write in the presence of their classes. This is rather different from the earlier sense of a teacher being a writer whose experience might act as a
reflective guide as well as a demonstrator of techniques.”

Text, sentence and word level
So what you already know is:
that different text types have rules about the generic text structure (text level)
the smaller aspects: paragraphs, types of, and the ordering sentences, punctuation (sentence level)
the smallest parts: tenses, word classes, connectives (word level)
Imitate, innovate & invent
Making sentences Make a sentence – it must: have a full stop include a capital letter
make sense
Read it to your friend
Identify the: verb noun adjective adverb
Mucking about with a sentence
The cat ran along the wall.
Turn the original sentence into a different text type; A recipe, newspaper report, discussion, recount.
You could add a question, an exclamation, turn into a compound sentence, a complex sentence. Have a go in your writing journal.
Sentence starters Add an adverbial phrase to the following:
Mr Medway came into the classroom. Ben ate his lunch. She left the table.
Can you change the position of the adverbial phrase?
Is there anywhere you can’t put it?

To describe what happened or to give the writing pace
Terry ran down the hill, tripped on a stone and ended up in a bramble hedge.
What do you know about…sentences?
Name 3 types of sentence Describe the difference, to your partner, between each.
Level 3 writers do not use variety in their sentences and tend to use only one, possibly two types of sentences – which type do you think they over-use?
So…how do we help them?
Adverbial phrasesLike single adverbs, they modify verbs,adjectives or adverbs. For example: He opened it extremely easily. I'll do it quite soon.
I ran so fast.
He was quite unexpectedly kind. He came very surprisingly quickly.
Handwriting & spelling Transcriptional elements of the writing process
What do you need to know for SE1: School’s handwriting policy Practise your handwriting in line with school
Know the terminology - lead in, flick? How spelling is linked to phonics - it is encoding phonemes into graphemes - across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2
