Learning Intention:
We are learning to document our thinking and inspiration for writing.
Success Criteria:
I have completed a senses chart.
Tuning In:
Watch video of Mr Heard introducing the writing lesson.
Activity:
Today you will complete a senses chart. using a favourite place at home or in the backyard as inspiration. Begin by creating a senses chart in your Writer’s Notebook. A senses chart includes what you see, hear, smell, taste, touch and feel. There is an example of this below.
When you have created the senses chart, find a quiet place around home. This could be your favourite place to think, draw or write. You could even head outside, if the weather is, ok as you can always rely on nature to get our senses working! . Take some time to get comfortable. Our aim is to be as silent and still as possible so that we can observe what is happening around us.
When you are settled begin to note down words and phrases in each section of the senses chart. There is no limit on how much or little you should write, some sections will be more difficult to fill in than others but give yourself time to notice what you see, smell, hear, taste, touch and feel.
When you have finished your filling out your senses chart, take time to shape your seed at the bottom of the page. Remember to include the text type and your ideas.
e.g.
Information Text - Indigenous Plants
Narrative recount - A day in the life of a bird
Persuasive - Living on the coast is the greatest!
