Week 4 (11th - 15th May)
This week we will be writing our biased newspaper article about Fairtrade. Remember that we are writing an article that will highlight its benefits and promote it as a good idea.
Lesson 1 – Monday 11th May
You should have your planning ready from last week. Today think about your headline and write the lead paragraph and paragraph 2.
A good headline:
- Is BIG AND BOLD,
- Rhymes,
- Has alliteration,
- Contains wordplay,
- Is short and snappy.
Lead Paragraph: Focus on the W’s in the planning sheet. Remember to use formal language.
Body Paragraph 2: Remember to include all the details and use formal language, different clauses and phrases.
Lesson 2 – Tuesday 12th May
Today you are writing paragraph 3 and 4.
Paragraph 3 Write all about 1 or 2 products in detail
Paragraph 4 Make sue you punctuate your direct speech properly and give names for your quotes.
Lesson 3 & 4 – Wednesday 13th & Thursday 14th May
For the next 2 days, edit your work. First read it through does it make sense? Does it sound formal? Think about the vocabulary, can you change any in to a more formal word? Does the article sound like you support Fairtrade?
Make sure you have all of these:
- Formal vocabulary – include passive and subjunctive mood
- Conjunctions in different places in the sentence
- Newspaper sentence starters (journalistic writing)
- Varied punctuation () . CL , ; : ! ? "" ... –
Use this to help you:
