4. SESE – Continue with the project on the Celts from last week. Projects will need to be emailed to teachers on Friday the 27th of March.
· Week Two
· Break your work up into themes and summarise the information you have-get rid of any information you do not need e.g. I have lots of information on the warriors so I will summarise it into the most important and interesting parts and focus on other areas that I may not have as much information on.
· Think of your audience and summarise the information you have in your own words rather than copying it from the source of the information. Putting the information into your own words will help you to learn. Copying and pasting is not learning.
- Think of:
- 1. How can I say this information in an interesting way?
- 2. What nice words /new words can I use?
- 3. How can I put the information into my own words?
- 4. Which pieces of information are the most important? What can I leave out?
- Start writing/typing your work. It is a good idea to write in pencil first and then when you correct your spellings/grammar write in pen.
- Finish writing/typing your work. Make sure you have lines so your writing is neat and clear.
- Check all spellings, edit and correct. Do not present work with incorrect spellings-get an adult to check it for you.
- Will you use images/pictures/maps/photos?
- Will you decorate or draw to make it look more attractive to your audience?
- Include the sources of information for your work at the end of your project.
