Presentation Transcript

  1. Welcome back Please could you get your homework out and put it in a pile in the middle of your desk. Please ensure your name is on your homework.

  2. English Language. Paper 1: Fiction and Imaginative Writing.

  3. An overview. Paper 1. Section B (45 minutes) – Imaginative Writing: explore and develop imaginative writing skills (25% of the whole GCSE) A choice of two creative writing tasks, one of which will include images which can be (but do not have to be) used as stimuli.

  4. Assessment Objectives

  5. The plan. Over the next few weeks we will prepare ourselves for the requirements of Paper 1 section B.

  6. We will start with Section B (Imaginative writing) and then you will continue to work on this as your main homework for this half term.

  7. What’s your target grade? What do you need to do in order to meet your target?

  8. Lesson1

  9. Imaginative writing mock exam We will start, today, with a mock exam. This will give us a starting point and also a piece of work to re-draft and improve over the next two weeks. You will have 45 minutes to complete the task.

  10. Imaginative writing mock exam Write about a time when you, or someone you know, was trapped. Your response may be real or imagined. *Your response will be marked for the accurate and appropriate use of vocabulary, spelling, punctuation ad grammar.

  11. Starter You now need to highlight the following things (in different colours): Colour 1: high level vocabulary Colour 2: literary devices Colour 3: punctuation marks (yep, all of them!)

  12. Self-assessment… Underline any words that you think you may have spelt incorrectly. Circle the beginning of any sentences which you think you have opened in an imaginative way (not I, The, We, A, Then etc)

  13. Self-assessment… In GREEN PEN. One thing that I think I have done well is… One thing that I think that I have forgotten to do is… One thing that I need more help with is…

  14. Lesson2

  15. Feedback tasks from writing mock Please read your feedback and then move to the correct table to work on your tasks.

  16. Starter You now need to highlight the following things (in different colours): Colour 1: high level vocabulary Colour 2: literary devices Colour 3: punctuation marks (yep, all of them!)

  17. Improving your imaginative writing: word level. You are going to see a series of pictures. You will have 2 minutes to write down as many ADJECTIVES as you can think of for each one. Your challenge is to fill a page of your book with adjectives.

  18. Look at your words. You need two coloured highlighters. Split your words (where possible) into positive and negative words. Now circle your best 5 in each category (5 positive and 5 negative)

  19. Homework Find 5 more words for each category. Use the internet, use a thesaurus, use your parents, use books… Come to next lesson with your list of 10 positive words and 10 negative words.

  20. Starter Under the two headings below, write out your homework words in your exercise book. Positive vocabularyNegative vocabulary

  21. What’s an adverb? What job does it do?

  24. Task Come up with an A-Z of adverbs that you could use in your own imaginative writing.

  25. Task Doubling up adverbs. What’s the effect? DON’T OVER-USE!

  26. Task Add adverbs into the piece of creative writing in front of you. Try to vary where you put them in a sentence and the amount that you use.

  27. Starter Correct any spellings from yesterday’s lesson. You can use your phone!

  28. Task Go back to the piece of writing that you did in your mock. Add at least 5 adverbs to this piece of work in GREEN.

  29. Lesson3

  30. Starter Improve the piece of writing on your desk by adding adverbs and adjectives where you feel it’s effective to do so. Work independently. You can improve adjectives that are already there if you want.

  31. Let’s hear them… Which did you think was the most effective? Why?

  32. Narrative Hooks

  33. Structure

  34. Structure Punctuation What different things could ‘structure’ refer to in terms of your imaginative writing? Structure within paragraphs Syntax (structure of sentences) Overall structure

  35. SSLLS I’m going to show you a picture. I want you to write a short paragraph about that picture, following the structure SSLLS. Let’s look at an example… S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  36. SSLLS Hesitantly, I knocked the door. It swung open. Before me stood what looked like a crow in human form, glowering at me with eyes as sharp as needles. I stepped back in fear, as the crow lurched towards me. My legs crumbled. S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  37. SSLLS Starter If you didn’t complete this paragraph, finish it now. S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  38. SSLLS S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  39. SSLLS S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  40. SSLLS S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  41. SSLLS S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

  42. Effective paragraphing. [Look at the text in front of you. Read it through and add paragraphs for effect. Cut out the sections so that you can see what it would look like on the page]
