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.
