Literacy - Task 1 In this lesson, we will start off by writing a complex sentence with a relative clause about Charles Darwin. Then we will look at what an introduction is and plan our own introduction for this biographical writing. After that, we will plan the main body of the text and break the main body into four paragraphs: Early Life, School Life, Voyages and Discoveries. For each paragraph, we will refer to notes made from the previous lessons and insert opening sentences and linking sentences. Finally, we will plan a concluding paragraph.
