This will introduce how to help children internalise the tune of the different non-fiction text types so they can become confident talkers and writers in non-fiction mode.
This INSET is designed for teachers of Years 1-6. The training will illustrate how to build up language skills so that children internalise the key language patterns underpinning the different non-fiction text types with an emphasis on the sentence signposts that link text together and guide the reader or listener.
OVERVIEW
The training offers an introduction in how to teach non-fiction units in English in Talk for Writing style so that the focus is on the underpinning language patterns of whichever text type is focused on. It will show how the skills needed can be built on year on year so that children can increasingly speak or write effectively in which ever text type is required because they have internalised the tune of that type of text.
OUTCOMES
By the end of the training, delegates should have gained in understanding how to plan non-fiction units so they focus effectively on the underpinning patterns of the non-fiction text type required and build in progression.
OUTLINE
The session will be interactive. The focus will be on devising engaging language activities that build up the required language patterns before internalising short model texts that illustrate the language patterns of the different text types in action. Once the structure and patterns of the text have been analysed, the children can then build on their understanding by innovating on these patterns. By the end of the unit they should be able to independently write in a similar mode.
Delegates will be provided with a PDF of the presentation prior to the event to make notes on, but will also receive an amended copy after the event so that they can see the co-constructed changes made during the presentation.
