US 28068 - V4 - Write a Connected Text on a Familiar Topic - BLOG
This editable resource guides students to success with the Level 3 EL Unit Standard 28068 Write a Connected Text on a Familiar Topic - version 4. Students write a BLOG POST about a topic they are familiar with.
Students are guided with a particular format, dividing their main ideas (parts) with headings. For each of those parts, students are encouraged to:
- Outline a problem (eg: missing a plane because you're so disorganised).
- Offer a solution to the problem and say why that solution works/is a good idea.
- Outline the consequences of following this solution/advice (eg: you'll never miss a plane again and travel will be a relaxing experience).
This resource includes:
⭐ One student booklet - fully editable of course, so tweak as you like.
⭐ A coversheet to help you with grading and moderation. (Note, the NZQA criteria are a bit muddled so I've tidied things up a bit, slipped in definitions etc.)
You and your students will enjoy:
❤️ Logistics! A handy table of contents and a record of checkpoints along the way. (Just type in the due dates.)
❤️ Lots of scaffolding around structure.
❤️ Plenty of information around language features.
❤️ The example provided (plus links to NZQA exemplars).
❤️ Unpacked achievement criteria that your students will (hopefully!) better understand.
❤️ A planning template.
❤️ A helpful checklist.

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair I think! Let's help each other out. :)
