WALT: Write an explanation text
You will need your work that you annotated yesterday.
Write up your notes to produce a fully formed explanation that answers this question in detail:
How does an Ancient Egyptian farmer use the seasons to plan for a plentiful harvest?
Use your notes to write your explanation in full sentences and clear paragraphs.
Ensure you include: a question for the heading, an opening paragraph introducing your subject, a conclusion/ summary, subheadings, clear paragraphs, causal conjuctions to give reasons, time conjunctions, exciting sentences, show off words, a glossary explaining technical language.
Try to illustrate each paragraph with a picture that helps the reader understand your explanation – pictures can be hand drawn or found online.
Please don’t rush today’s writing task. If you find it is taking you longer than 1 hour, use tomorrow’s time for English to complete it.
