Autumn 2 in Team LF

Team LF have read Dracula, written by Bram Stoker, during our reading lessons this term. We have focussed on the vocabulary used within the text in order to support our understanding of the novel. The story also lent itself well to other VIPERS elements, allowing us to work on retrieval, prediction and inference. We have used stem sentence responses to support with the structure of our answers and become more familiar with the point, evidence, point evidence (PEPE) technique. We also briefly touched on summarising and this is something we will be continuing with at other points in the year. As part of our GASP approach to writing, we have also engaged in the reading on non-fiction texts (such as newspapers) to develop our understanding of different text types and support us with the analysis of features.
