Grade 2 Writing – 2007a Term 2 2024 – Week 8 (16) Greeting/ Introduction Ask students to share how they felt about the creative writing about the writing prompt, ‘My Secret Pet’ and what they found easy or more difficult. You will need: A4 lined exercise book, dictionary/thesaurus, dark blue or black pen, and grey lead pencils. Expectations Students must submit their homework on time (as requested by the writing teacher) to get the most out of the program and to get feedback. Late submissions will miss out. Students learning online must send their homework via email to their teacher every Tuesday before class and on-campus students must submit their writing on Saturday or Sunday, depending on the day of their class. Would You Rather... These are simple questions that all children can answer as there is no right or wrong answer. Children are to write their answers in their writing book. Give children 30 seconds to decide and give a reason. Discuss as a grade and allow children to share their reasons. See if anyone has decided to change their mind.
Focus (1): Punctuation – Question Marks (1) Questions are sentences that ask something. When we write a question, we should always put a question mark (?) at the end of the sentence. A sentence that ends in a question word (why, what, which, where, when, who, and how) must end with a question mark. Complete this activity in class if time permits. Focus (2): Adverbs (1) An adverb tells you more about a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Many adverbs end in -ly and others are not as easy to find. There are five kinds of adverbs. Each one answers a different question. They are: 1. Adverbs of manner (how something happens) angrily, hungrily, beautifully. 2. Adverbs of time (when something happens) yesterday, tomorrow, next week. 3. Adverbs of place (where something happens) here, there, nowhere. 4. Adverbs of degree (how much does something happen) almost, so, very. 5. Adverbs of frequency (how often something happens) always, never, often. This week we are looking at adverbs of manner. This gives you information about the way something is done. For example, angrily, hungrily, beautifully
Focus (3): Let’s get our thinking caps on! Set a timer for 40 seconds (recommended) or choose a time you wish to spend on each quick think activity. Time should not exceed 2 minutes per topic. Ask students to write as much as they can about the topics in their writing books. Today’s Quick Writes • Have you ever let your friend borrow something of yours? Tell me about it. • You want to borrow my coloured pencils. Give me three (3) reasons why I should let you borrow them. • Describe this scene. What is happening? Focus (4): Additional Vocabulary (Synonyms) The list below includes some words that students may find useful for this week’s writing topic. Ask students whether they know the meaning of any of these words. When necessary, explain the meaning of these words. Call on students to try to use these words in sentences. What is a synonym? Discuss what a synonym is with the students.
Focus (5): This week’s writing task – Persuasive Writing Persuasive writing is giving your opinion on what you think, feel, and believe. To persuade means to convince. The reasons to persuade: • to convince someone to believe what you believe • to act or do something (often called ‘a call to action’) • to change someone’s mind about something. There are many ways to persuade someone. We can do this by: • writing letters • creating advertisements • writing articles • presenting a speech (debates) • writing book or movie reviews VIDEO (128) Persuasive Writing for Kids: What is It? - YouTube Structure of persuasive Title: tells exactly what the text is about. Introduction: a statement that gives the topic, position, and some background information. Also, this is where you grab the reader’s attention and make them want to continue reading. Body: the reasons are organised into paragraphs using words like first, next etc. Conclusion: restates the position as forcefully as possible, sums up the arguments without introducing new information and a ‘call of action’ may be included. Grammar of persuasive Use present tense to indicate now. Use of persuasive feeling (emotive) words such as believe, should, and feel. Use of action verbs. Use of words such as must, will and should (modal) to convey certainty.
