Focus: creating a vocabulary display that could support students to use more descriptive words in their writing
Moment in time’ planning sheet
‘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.
Remember when using a planning sheet to model how to take notes and to support students to generate interesting ideas.
