Learning objective: I can use commas to list.

 

Warm up: write as many subordinating and coordinating conjunctions as you can*

 

*subordinating conjunctions are words like ‘because’, ‘if’, ‘that’. Coordinating conjunctions are words like ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘but’.

I have taken some words from the learning objective and put them in bold. Can you think about what these words mean?

 

 

 Commas to list ___________________________________________________________

Commas can be used to separate items in a list, so you do not have to keep repeating the word ‘and’ in the sentence.

 

In this unit of literacy, you are going to write a fact file on the famous writer William Shakespeare. You will notice similarities between this piece of work and the explanation text you wrote before half term.

 

In each lesson we will have our success criteria to follow. The success criteria are what I need to see in your work to see what you are learning whilst at home.

 

Success criteria:

• Commas to list
• Subheading
• Bullet points to list ideas
• Diagram
• Proper nouns
• Technical language

Main task: You are going to write subheading and use the Power-Point to write down interesting facts about William Shakespeare. You will also need to draw a diagram to show us what he looks like (as the fact file is about him).
