Description

This resource combines a sequence of classroom lessons with a CPD activity for teachers. Complete the CPD video and reflection tasks before teaching to develop your subject knowledge, explore effective teaching strategies and record your professional learning. This lesson has been divided into three separate sessions, helping you to explore the English objective relating to the use of the passive to affect the presentation of information in a sentence. In Lesson One, children will learn about layout devices such as headings, sub-headings, body text and text boxes etc. In Lesson Two, they will learn specifically about the agentless passive and how to use it to create an authoritative written tone. Then in Lesson Three, they will apply their learning to write double-page information spreads about Darwin and/or evolution. They will revise and edit their work to bring it up to a published standard.
