Organise
oRGANISING
Once you have brainstormed ideas for your task, an important part of the writing process, you then select and organise them, based upon the genre specific to the task.
Have a look at the Narrative and Persuasive compare and contrast document, available for you to download below
A great starting activity is to utilise the organsier - 2 Venn diagram - which you can download from PRODUCTS (free), then break your ideas into narrative and persuasive (or both).
Remember, ideas are subjective!
This means that you may not agree with others ideas on a topic (and vice versa); however, no one can see inside the head of another, that is why we are developing our writing skills, so that our ideas and perspectives can be laid out clearly on paper, using our English language conventions, to clearly / cohesively put our ideas across.
SUGGESTIONS:
During the Organising stage:
Using a common mnemonic to assist (e.g. Narrative Hamburger, Persuasive Hand) organise ideas
Consider Audience
Consider perspective – 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Suggested approach to Organising Ideas:
Consider text structure – think about mnemonic
Sort Ideas
Planning for narratives and persuasives – use plot graphs
Graphic Organisers
Graphic Organisers are a great tool to assist with structured learning.
Of course, once you understand a process, you won't require the use of an organiser, you will find your preferred approach.
I've created numerous graphic organisers for your use,
I will give you the name of the suggested/recommended organiser for the activity, should it require one, You can search for these via the PRODUCT page.
