Collect:
Collecting ideas ready for writing
Collecting ideas, research, notes, sentences, paragraphs ready to draft.
Ideas – through background information, teacher expertise, modelled paragraphs/texts, whole class reading.
Research – books/pages from reference books, whole class reading (internet as a last resource and specified pages rather than through google).
Notes – one or two words, not phrases or sentences from reading or teacher modelling.
Sentences - with one type used previously to review prior learning
- other sentences using ideas, research and notes
- two Alan Peat sentences per writing journey, teacher model, pair model, independent attempt, assessment for learning sentence, corrective review if needed, additional sentences in same style.
Paragraphs – organise sentences into paragraphs which are cohesive
Learning environment expectations:
Alan Peat sentences are on display around the room – the sentence type is on the collect part of the working wall
Sample sentences are on the working wall for children to magpie
Book expectations:
Collect approach can clearly be identified within the writing journey
