This writing a review booster or intervention PPT lesson pack is intended to help Year 5 and 6 pupils who are performing below age-related expectations. It contains a writing sequence in which pupils are required to write a review of a hotel room.

Objectives
This teaching sequence will help pupils understand the writing process and practise:
• Writing for a range of purposes and audiences
• Choosing vocabulary and grammar suited to the task
Timing
The sequence consists of 5 stages, each taking around 20-30 minutes. Teachers may complete one stage per session or combine stages to create sessions which suit their timetable.

What’s included?
This resource contains a teaching PPT to guide pupils through the writing process; plus, the following PDFs:
• A copy of the model text with an annotation key which pupils can complete by devising their own code before annotating
• A review features reference sheet which pupils can use to help them at different stages. It contains the features of a review and also lists commonly-used words pupils could select to use in their own writing.
• A planning frame to help pupils organise notes prior to writing the first draft
In addition, there is a guidance sheet which provides tips on how to organise the sessions.

Structure
The stages / sessions outlined on the PPT are as follows:

1. Analyse: Introduce the text type and analyse an example text
2. Plan: Make notes for writing a first draft
3. Draft: Create initial version
4. Revise and edit: Make improvements to first draft
5. Share : If time allows, pupils might rewrite their draft; alternatively, they could just share their improved draft with teachers or a peer and receive feedback.

Further Practice
The PPT includes ideas for further practice. Teachers could have pupils complete a further practice task with less support if their understanding is sufficient.
