ENGLISH TASK ONEBiographies

Feedback for your biographies!

This fantastic example shows all the key features of a biography.

It has clear subheadings that break up the paragraphs, lots of information has been included and adverbials of time to start

the paragraphs.

Well done!!!

Thank you to every who submitted their work to us.Thank you to the parents and carers for their help

Fantastic use of biography key features. Subheadings and information was a feature in all

of those submitted.

The amount of research completed to find information for the biograph was great- well

done.

Formal language needs to be used all the way through the piece of writing. Some biographies

had informal language in them.

What Are Formal and Informal Language?

Can you write definitions for ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ language?

Formal Language

Formal language is used for more official and serious purposes. The correct grammar should always be used.

Informal Language

In informal situations and informal writing, a more relaxed casual and chatty style can be used. Slang words and abbreviations are more acceptable.

Why do we write stories?

Think of three reasons.

Activity

Think back to your learning

about Howard Carter.

We are going to plan and

write a story about

discovering an Egyptian tomb in a pyramid.

We are going to generate some ideas today

All our stories are going to start the same.

You are going to be an archaeologist exploring the Valley of the Kings in Egypt for undiscovered tombs.

What could happen when you are searching for the tomb?

Think of as many different ideas as you can. Make a list of them.

Examples:

• It takes me months and months of trying to find anything.

• Someone else finds the tomb before me.

• I find the tomb and when I get inside, it is empty.

• …

Now it is time to pick!

Decide on one idea for your story.

Tomorrow we are going to plan out the story.
