LI: To create a primary source of

information.

SC: I can make daily journal entries

documenting personal experiences.

Keep a journal of what’s happening in your

life at the moment. Try to find out some facts

and statistics not only about COVID 19 but

also about the restrictions that have been

placed upon NSW residents, Australians and

people around the world. We are living

through a moment of time that will go down in

history. Your grandchildren may learn about

this in school! Your journal will be a primary

source of information for them. Consider the

following prompts: What did the Australian

Government announce today? Does it impact

your life? Why or why not? What is open in

your neighbourhood? What is closed? How is

today different from yesterday for you, your

family, our nation, the world? What does your

family need today that you might not have

enough of, or be able to acquire, in the

future?

Wk 4: Big Write

LI: To engage a reader by writing an effective introduction and conclusion.

SC: I can write an engaging introduction and conclusion to persuade a

reader.

Topic: Reading a book is better than digital reading.

Task: View the persuasive language poster and the persuasive introduction and

conclusion poster. You may like to use the persuasive writing scaffold to help you

plan your writing. Look at the checklist before you begin and revise the PEEL

strategy to help guide you.

Use your understanding of the structure of an exposition AND the feedback you

were given from Wk 2’s Big Write to write an exposition on the topic above. Focus

on including an engaging introduction and conclusion and writing full paragraphs

(at least three sentences for each paragraph).

Remember to focus on using wow words (high level vocabulary) and effective

openers. You can either write this on a piece of paper or type it.

Friday’s Big Write Edit

Edit your text for spelling and punctuation errors and improve your vocabulary and

openers. Highlight VCOP. Complete the checklist on GC (this one will allow you to

make your own copy). Once you have finished, upload your Big Write and

checklist to GC (if you typed it) or Seesaw (if you wrote it on paper).

VCOP ActivitiesUse the following openers with high modality to write your own sentence, persuading a family member to do something you want

to do.

1. It is extremely important…

2. We can see from the evidence…

3. There is definitely….

4. It is imperative…

Add your best sentence to

the welcome post on GC

for today.

persuasive sentences/questions.

Fractions and Decimals

I can record equivalent fractions using diagrams and numerals.

MassLI: To convert between mass measurements

I can recognise the equivalence of whole-number and decimal representations of measurement of

mass, e.g. 3kg 250g is the same as 3.25kg
