Leaflets

Monday 18th May - What are these?

Why do we have leaflets? What is their purpose? Research more leaflets online or see if you have any laying around at home.

Features

This week you are going to produce an information leaflet all about The Great Fire of London. You will need to use your prior knowledge and research new facts about this significant event. You will need to be creative in how you organise your work and make your leaflet as detailed and interesting as possible.

Quick Starter: What can you remember about The Great Fire of London? How many facts can you say out loud in 1 minute? Task: Before you start producing your leaflet it’s important to write up a small plan to support you with your writing. Today you are going to be thinking about your main heading, introduction and sub-headings to help you organise your information for your leaflet. (See example planning grid and attached)

Tuesday 19th May – Research

Task: Look back at the previous home learning lessons on The Great Fire of London. Refresh your memories about the key events, facts and figures. Research further by using some of the suggested links below. http://www.fireoflondon.org.uk/story/the-fire/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er3GKw8Z3R4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/37253903 Add three or four short sentences under each sub-heading to help guide you with what you might write about in your leaflet. For Example: How did the fire start?

• In the early hours of the morning on the 2nd September 1666
• Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane
• Everyone in the baker’s house escaped, except the maid, who sadly died.
