5. The plan. Over the next few weeks we will prepare ourselves for the requirements of Paper 1 section B.

6. We will start with Section B (Imaginative writing) and then you will continue to work on this as your main homework for this half term.

7. What’s your target grade? What do you need to do in order to meet your target?

8. Lesson1

9. Imaginative writing mock exam We will start, today, with a mock exam. This will give us a starting point and also a piece of work to re-draft and improve over the next two weeks. You will have 45 minutes to complete the task.

10. Imaginative writing mock exam Write about a time when you, or someone you know, was trapped. Your response may be real or imagined. *Your response will be marked for the accurate and appropriate use of vocabulary, spelling, punctuation ad grammar.

11. Starter You now need to highlight the following things (in different colours): Colour 1: high level vocabulary Colour 2: literary devices Colour 3: punctuation marks (yep, all of them!)

12. Self-assessment… Underline any words that you think you may have spelt incorrectly. Circle the beginning of any sentences which you think you have opened in an imaginative way (not I, The, We, A, Then etc)

13. Self-assessment… In GREEN PEN. One thing that I think I have done well is… One thing that I think that I have forgotten to do is… One thing that I need more help with is…

43. SSLLS I’m going to show you a picture. I want you to write a short paragraph about that picture, following the structure SSLLS. Let’s look at an example… S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

44. SSLLS Hesitantly, I knocked the door. It swung open. Before me stood what looked like a crow in human form, glowering at me with eyes as sharp as needles. I stepped back in fear, as the crow lurched towards me. My legs crumbled. S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

45. SSLLS Starter If you didn’t complete this paragraph, finish it now. S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence

46. SSLLS S = short sentence S = short sentence L = long sentence L = long sentence S = short sentence
