Formal letters
We are now going to redraft the letters that we
constructed last session. But first, we must
create a whole - class redrafting checklist

Formal language
  • No contracted words (cant - can not)
  • No abbreviations (fridge - refrigerator
  • T.V - television)
  • Standard English (wheres that to? - where is
    that?)
  • No colloquial/slang (its out of order! - That
    is not fair!)

Whole class guided writing
  • We have been asked to put together a short

    SDCC newsletter, thanking the students for
    supporting our mufti day and encouraging them to
    participate in our forthcoming Disaster Day.

60 Second News Report
9
You are journalists
  • You have one hour before the news is going to
    be broadcast and you need to inform the nation
    about a natural disaster that has just hit
    Britain.
  • You must work in pairs to prepare a 60 second
    script to be read aloud on the 6 Oclock News

10
  • News update The Green Warriors,
    environmental crusaders, have stormed the Houses
    of Parliament and attacked many members of
    parliament, throwing vegetables and eggs at
    them... They are also threatening to blow up any
    businesses who do not recycle all their paper
    the whole city of London has come to a complete
    standstill .... the business community is in
    uproar ... the Police are attempting to control
    the situation through persuasion... The Green
    Warriors claim they will not budge until their
    demands for a more environmentally friendly world
    are met ... They are demanding to meet with the
    world's top scientists to discuss ways forward ..

11
  • NEWS UPDATE ... No-Roadies,
    environmental crusaders ... have formed a protest
    outside Oldbury ... They are living in trees and
    tunnels to stop the work going aheadThey have
    attacked many of the builders of the new road
    with their bare hands and feet ... the whole
    neighbouring area of Berkshire has come to a
    standstill because of the demonstration ...
    lorries with vital supplies for the local
    hospital are not able to get through ... the
    Police are concerned for Public Safety and are
    preparing to disperse the protestors ... The
    No-Roadies hold banners which proclaim "No more
    new Roads in Oldbury" ... They demand that the
    proposed new road is banned because of more
    pollution and traffic to local house-holders
    ...... Top scientists have been called in to see
    if they can solve the problem ...

12
You will need to consider
  • 1) the formality of language choices,
  • 2) selection of content, (5 Ws H)
  • 3) length of items,
  • 4) attitude to listeners assumed prior
    knowledge.
  • Remember how to create a quick plan! E.g Mind
    map your ideas and number them to create a
    cohesive structure.

13
Plenary
  • Lets record our news scripts and consider how
    convincing they are.
