Week 1

Invitation Lesson Plan

This plan contains 1 week’s work for a group or class. You can use it to teach the features of an invitation. If this is used for preparation of the KS1 SATs task you must allow at least 1 week before the children attempt the SAT task.

Texts provided:

o Emma’s Invitation

o Bear’s Invitation letter

Resources provided:

o Blank invitation pro forma

o Invitation frame

Assessment

Invitation Questions

You can use this resource to assess children’s invitation writing. The questions have been matched to the QCA short task assessment criteria, which are sorted into the two headings:

A: Sentence Structure and Punctuation

B: Composition and Effect

The assessment questions are divided into four bands so that if you want to level the writing you can use the QCA marking scheme. The marks are scored as follows:

Band	A	B
1	1 mark	1 mark
2	2-3 marks	2-3 marks
3	4-5 marks	4-5 marks
4		6-7 marks

However at this stage we would recommend that it would be more productive to use this information for formative purposes and use the questions to identify some learning targets for individual children.

E.g. add more detail about time / place; add more detail about characters etc
