July 2024 Holiday Program Year 2 Writing - Lesson 2 Greeting Welcome the students. Revision of the first lesson. What a sentence is? What is a paragraph? What makes up a paragraph? What does FANBOYS stand for and when do we use them? Question of the Day These are simple questions that all children can answer as there is no right or wrong answer. Get the children to write their answers in their writing book. Give children 45 seconds to decide and give a reason. Then you could get children to perform the actions at the side to show which one they choose. Set as a challenge to get children to put simple sentences together in the correct order. Activity: Children to put the words in the correct order. On the whiteboard put the words: do like what you about school? going Tom to milk to the store get is tomorrow.
Connectives (FANBOYS) and compound sentences FANBOYS is a mnemonic for a set of seven coordinating conjunctions. They are coordinating conjunctions that connect equally important ideas in a sentence. They are used to connect two ideas that could each be a sentence on its own. List the words on the board. for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so Get the children to make their own sentences with one of the connectives to join two sentences together. For example. I am tired. I will go to bed. I am tired so I will go to bed. Stretchy Sentences Today, we are going to learn how to take our sentences and expand or stretch them by adding new ideas or details. Sometimes when we write, we forget to include important details that paint a picture for our readers to really see what is happening. When we expand or stretch our sentences out, we add in those missing details to make it clearer for our readers. Doing this will help us become stronger writers. Explain to students to make a sentence stronger, we need to add details that help our readers picture what we are saying. Today, we are going to practice one way to make our simple sentences stronger. When we have a short sentence like the one on the board [Display sentence on the board.] The boy played It doesn’t tell us much about the boy. We need to stretch or add to our sentence to help our readers picture the boy. We do this by asking questions who, what, where, when, and why. Who: The boy Doing What: is playing on the swings When: this afternoon Where: at the park Why: because he finished his homework. This afternoon the boy was playing on the swings at the park because he had finished his homework.
Get students to add detail and description and build their own sentences. Get children to share their stretchy sentences. What is a verb? A verb is an action word, if you can ‘do it’ then it is a verb. Enjoy this short verb song and teach the children. (798) The Verb Song - YouTube Brainstorm verb words on the board. Verbs are words that tell you what something or somebody is doing or being. Circle the verb in each sentence. The firemen rescued the cat from the tree. The girl was skipping with her rope in the garden. I was happily jumping whilst playing hopscotch. I asked my Mum if I could go to the park. The fish was swimming in its little fish bowl. The lion roared at the other animals when they went past. Now you know what a paragraph is and you are all so good at writing one we are going to keep building them. Building on Paragraphs Revise a paragraph. Remember a paragraph is made up of a topic sentence, 3 supporting sentences about the topic and a concluding sentence. A paragraph should have at least five sentences. Each sentence relates to a single idea about the topic.
Our Traffic Light Let’s look at what makes a paragraph. Topic sentence (Green for Go) 1-2 sentences Relevant Details (Yellow light to expand on the topic). 3 sentences Closing Sentence – (Red light for the paragraph is done) 1 sentence Summarise the main ideas and feelings of the paragraph? Does it restate the topic sentence?” Using our 5 senses We can build on our writing using our 5 senses. What are our 5 senses? See, smell, hear, feel and taste. Discuss how and what you can do with each sense. See the sheet below for an example activity. Using your 5 senses describe a flower.
