Task 1: Look to text features
Listen to Miss Spurling read the non-fiction text, 'Living Lights' by Bernadette Kelly. Non-fiction texts usually have a lot of information on each page that help to explain what is in the pictures, or help you to understand what words mean. These parts of the book are called the features.
In the video, Miss Spurling shows us features, including the contents and the glossary. Do you remember what the glossary was used for?
Complete the activity below by using a dictionary to find the meaning of the words found in the 'Living Lights' glossary.

Task 2: Sentence fluency
Task 2: Sentence fluency
Words are the building blocks of sentences. When we build a sentence we need to put the words together in a way that makes sense. This will help us and others read and understand our writing.
Watch 'Just How Long Can A String Be' by Keith Baker. Brainstorm all the things you could do with a piece of string.
What else would a bird use and be able to describe?
Now, think about everything you can do with a feather.
Write about your favourite use for a feather.
When writing focus on the construction of your sentences. A sentence should include a subject and a verb. A sentence needs to be 1 thought.
e.g.
noun: puppet
verb (action word): skips
Put them together: puppet skips
Develop so the sentence has flow: "The puppet can skip."
Once complete, use the Sentence Fluency Scoring Guide to review your own work.
