Whilst it is fresh after just planning it, today write your discussion text (we will look at the conclusion tomorrow)!  

Below are some useful words and phrases which might support you with your writing. Remember to also use your planning!  

For some this may feel quite daunting! I just want to remind you that you are ALL fantastic writers! Although your teacher isn’t with you, you can do this! Like we would say in school, no writer finishes their book/article based on the first book they wrote! Writers draft, edit and improve continually. Quite often my first drafts are just blurting my ideas down and then going back for a second time and refining what I have written. It is okay to re-draft. Do not see this as a failure!!

Today we are going to 'model' the digestive system. Modelling is a key skill used by scientists to help understand scientific phenomena. There are several steps in this lesson: modelling (using resources), watching information videos, completing a quiz and showing your understanding in one of a variety of ways:   

►  information poster

►, comic strip

►  stop motion animation

►  movie/freeze frames

►  poem

Let's hope you can 'digest' all this learning and 'stomach' the challenges (check that idiom with someone if you're not sure what that means)!

First, watch the video demonstration below.
