Word closen … using photos - each time, you look at the photo, using ‘frame’ to talk. To build a core knowledge - word of departure was Egypt, that would have elicit numbers. Knowing - what from the visuals can you ‘glean’ from what you know & you don’t know. Sets up the thinking of Egypt.
If one of the text - would be illustrative, a variety of sentences.
What we’re going to do - is work out its punctuation. Hand out a sheet, a text that is not punctuated. "We’re going to punctuation" to break into the sentences, then talk about sentences and what they are?
Not do much around 1 in (complexity, form .. )
Day 1: Simpler form. (include a drop-down explanation box) Most people in Ancient Egypt in the Nile river. Along the Nile River, where they have ‘settled’ in Egypt.
The problem simplifier - students don’t learn about the language of complexity. A word analysis between original and simplified by vocabulary (hugely) eg: civilisation - segway into the complex one.
Unpunctuated one - well-constructed lines.
Let's look at sentences, look at verbs & verbal groups.
Tells us where Egypt is ..
Why punctuation is why it is,
Why sentences .. sentence has to have ‘verbal or verbal group “is” .. 3 verbial groups - can you find them ‘began, lasted ..
Today we’re going to look at verbial groups .. then forms ‘shorts, medium, long
2 students from 1 etc .. have to do the dictation with the others. So they can get writing practice.
Reconfigure, and dictate to each other. 1 of the kids will dictate to 3, 4 .. they have 1 paragraph each.
-Dictation: Look at the photo (for 5 minutes), then get them to do a breakout ‘deep dive’ - where ancient, modern Egypt. Have a student has a sense of time. They **Use paper** (go to B)
Day 2: looked at what they’ve punctuated.
How do we know they’re sentences? Because they make sense .. words that keep the company together. Then we call it a word group. 2nd sentence - we have a long sentence, began 5000 years ago .. There’s a long sentence - we need to break into word groups: broken up in 3 parts, there is a verbal group “called, began & lasted”. If it has 1 verbal group & it can’t stand by itself it’s not a sentence.
(Here is B) Look at the model & self correct. Miss a line - so they’re able to self correct under neath. (Go to C)
(Here is C) introduce a ‘sentence’ a group of words that make sense and can stand alone. We are going to test it out. Do those words keep accompany? Do they stand alone? Yes they can - what do they call Ancient Egypt - You can’t stand alone. It can’t be a sentence. When we call ‘Ancient Egypt - does it make sense? That can be a sentence .. “And” is not the end of the sentence, it’s a joining word - Egypt lasted almost 3000 years. Can it be a sentence? It can’t .
That long sentence - they’re joined by ‘and’ - compound sentence.
Much of the land of Egypt is desert. People choose to live on both sides of the River Nile. Where water was readily available.
Why did you punctuate the sentence? Let’s go through it? Much of the land is desert? An adjoining word is ‘So’. It can’t stand alone. All the other bits are adding details - play around with the long sentence. But parts of the sentence wouldn’t be
Q) What is a word group? They keep company together? Can stand alone and make sense.
What type of sentence? It’s a long one ..
Looking at the ‘the nile, has 3 word groups. What have we got? How many sentences? It has 4 sentences. 2 short to medium sentences. Got 2 long ones.
__________________________________________________________________________________Day 1: Dictation - does it make sense? Punctuation as a sentence, do we agree?
There is 4 sentences .. which is long, short or medium
Day 2: word groups
Day 3: Looks at part of a sentence. Using what they have learned about Ancient Egyptian life, they try to shape a mirror of the text sentence features – two short and two longer sentences; the longer sentences with more clauses – two or more.
Do they make sense? Can they stand alone - if any of the answers are ‘no’, then get rid of the others?
They can also try shaping a paragraph about a self-chosen topic – but of course, it will need to be one main idea sentence, supported by detailed sentences.
Day 4: introduce: need to know the verb/verb group. Take turns to read them
‘
Day 5: called, began, lasted, is, lived, was … and each of the word together with a verb/verb group is called a clause. If they stand alone ..
Big Map of Egypt: using google ‘earth’ - modern Egypt, critical civilisation. No water, no life.
Introduce the word “Oasis” means there is pocket of life/water or civilisation. The Nile - The big gaps of knowledge - due to Ancient History.
The reason for punctuation is for the reader - so that it can make sense for the reader.
Next week: unpunctuated text, why is this hard for the reader? No punctuation - it makes sense for the reader. A sentence is a group of words that accompany together. It’s leading to a dependent clause.
This could be started over the year. The power of vocabulary - dripping them with vocabulary. Using the more precise word tells the meaning of what they’re trying to ‘convey’ .. Limit of their vocabulary. If we went to the paragraph “civilisation, river mean? Desert? Explain the word - you’re introducing new words.
