July 2024 Holiday Program Year 2 Writing - Lesson 1 Greeting Welcome the students. Ask students to share how they feel about writing, and what they find easy or more difficult. Share 3 facts about yourself and call on a few students to do the same. Alternatively, you could play a quick game of two truths and one lie. This game requires you to provide students with three statements about yourself, one of which is a lie. Students then vote on which statement they believe to be ‘the lie’. You could do this in each lesson with 1 or 2 individual students to present three statements to the class. This is a great way to build rapport with students, particularly in the first lesson. 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. Challenge 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: boy reads The a book. on cat sat The bench the.

What are conjunctions and introduce FANBOYS Conjunctions are words that join sentences and ideas together. It joins a coordinate clause to the main clause to create a compound sentence. If the coordinating conjunction is linking two sentences, the clauses need to make sense on their own. For example: I had a terrible cold. I still went to work. You can add the coordinating conjunction ‘but’ in between these clauses, so the sentence reads: I had a terrible cold but I still went to school. FANBOYS is a mnemonic for a set of seven coordinating conjunctions. FANBOYS are coordinating conjunctions that connect equally important ideas in a sentence. They are used to connecting two ideas that could each be a sentence on its own, but also two ideas that couldn’t each be a sentence on its own. In the first case we put a comma in front of the conjunctions, and in the second case we don’t need the comma. BREAK
What is a paragraph? 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. Writers use paragraphs to organise their writing and make it easier to understand for the reader. We write paragraphs in all three genres of writing (informative, narrative, and opinion). Our Traffic Light Let’s look at what makes a paragraph. Topic sentence (Green for Go) Let’s have a look at the topic sentence. A topic sentence is a complete sentence that expresses the main idea of a paragraph. It answers questions like why, how or where. Identify the topic sentence using an example (Polar Bears): The topic sentence in this paragraph is in green. Green for GO. Get students to read it. Ask students “Just looking at the topic sentence, can you tell what the rest of the paragraph will be about?” Relevant Details (Yellow light to expand on the topic). Now that we know how to start a paragraph with a topic sentence, we can talk about details! The details need to be relevant, which means that they stay on- topic and support the topic sentences. The relevant details are 3 – 5 sentences. For grade 2 we are aiming for 3 sentences. The details can also help create a picture in the reader’s mind. We are going to think of relevant details as a VIP- a very important part of the paragraph! Refer to the Polar Bear paragraph and discuss the details. Closing Sentence – (Red light for the paragraph is done) We almost have a complete paragraph. We learned topic sentences and relevant details. Now the last step is the closing sentence. A closing sentence summarises the main ideas or feelings of a paragraph. Think of closing the door. The closing sentence “closes” the paragraph. It restates the topic sentence or main idea. It shouldn’t say the same exact thing though! Change it up. One of the most important things about a closing sentence is to remember that it’s not a relevant detail and it shouldn’t have
