LO: To write a letter

using cause conjunctions.Start by writing today’s date and learning objective in your Literacy book.

Today’s Literacy lesson will have two parts.

1. Reading activity

2. Writing task

1. Reading activity

This is on the next

slide. Read the text

then answer the

questions.

2. Writing task

Would you make a good knight?

I think I would make a good

knight because ………

Say this sentence with as many different endings as you can think of.

Look at this advert asking for

people to become knights.

I think you would make a great

knight and should apply for

the job!

First, let’s think about why you

would make a good knight.

We can use some conjunctions to give reasons.

I would like to be a knight

because I want to help defend

the king and queen.

I know I am good at jousting as I

always win the jousting

competitions at school!

I am very friendly so will get on

well with the other knights.

Have a look at each of the requirements on the advert. How can you show that

you meet those requirements?

Practise saying some sentences using cause conjunctions, e.g.

I know I am good at following instructions because my teacher is always impressed with my behaviour

at school.

Now it’s time to write your

letter to apply to become a

knight!

Look at the next slide for an

example. Can you spot all

the cause conjunctions?

Dear National Knights Organisation,

I would like to apply for a job as a knight. I have written some reasons why I think I would be a good knight.

I am very fit because I ride my bike every day. I really like horses as they are such beautiful, powerful animals. I am willing to have lots of training so that I become the best knight in the world! My teacher will tell you that I am very good at following instructions because I always listen to her.

I hope you write back to me soon. I really want to be a knight because it would be such a fun job!

Love from Kenny

Start by saying who the letter is

for.

Write two sentences to explain

what your letter will be about.

This is your main section. Use

all the sentences you practised

saying, giving reasons why you

would make a good knight.

Make sure your last sentence is

really exciting and makes the

reader believe that you want to

be a knight.

Don’t forget to write your name

at the end!

Now it’s your turn to write your letter!

Well done! How did you get on today?
