Today I had to catch up with the planning that I missed when I was away. We are planning our essays today and then starting to write them tommorow, which is a little bit scary! I think that my plan will be a good guide as I write my essay, as I will be able to tick off all of my questions as I go. Planning made me think more about the structure of the essay and it gave me a better idea of what the essay is all about. Today I worked really well because I finished my plan during the lesson, even though the rest of the class has had longer to do it. So now have caught up with the work that I missed while I was away. I am glad that I caught up quickly, because now I dont have to wrry about falling behind. During the next few lessons my goal is to make sure that I keep up with writing my essay! My plan is as follows:
