for inspiration and ideas
‘A moment in time’ encourages students to add detail to their writing using the senses. It is a scaffolded task that supports ‘at risk’ writers but also extends more able students.
We have a Slide presentation for teaching the Moment in time: https://www.theliteracyplace.
There is also a lesson plan on page 100 of The Writing Book.
When teaching students to plan, remember to model how to take notes and then how to use the notes to support writing.
