Ban the Boring – Seven Steps Writing

Home / English / Ban the Boring – Seven Steps Writing

This week 3C joined other classes on Padlet to improve a boring paragraph about a fire. We know that authors ban the boring bits (a seven steps writing skill) and get to the action. We worked in pairs and the results were impressive. This is our classroom display.

English – Spoken Procedure

Home / English / English – Spoken Procedure

We have just started our English unit exploring spoken procedures. We are using the book ‘Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White’ to see how Charlotte gives Wilbur instructions. Wilbur and Charlotte are great friends and we can see how the author has used language to show us their relationship.

Our assessment task will be to write a spoken procedure between two characters and present it to the class. When we present our dialogue, we will think about volume (not too loud, not too soft), tone (expression) and pace (not to fast). 

This is our learning wall which shows us exactly what we have to know and do for the unit.
