Lesson details
Key learning points
- Emotions can be different and shown in different ways, so descriptions must be chosen carefully
- An emotion describes how someone is feeling
- A character can feel different emotions at different points of a story
- Including a range of adjectives to describe the same feeling stops repetition and makes writing more interesting
- Adverbs can be used to show how someone feels when they do something, such as 'counts quietly' or 'cartwheels happily'.
Keywords
Emotion - a feeling or mood
Noun - a naming word
Adjective - describes or adds detail to a noun
Verb - a doing or being word
Adverb - a word that describes or gives more information about a verb
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate their own adverbs.
The focus of the lesson is using adverbs within a sentence, so provide as many as children may need. You can use word banks to support as well as lots of oral rehearsal.
Equipment
You will need a copy of the 2012 Walker Books edition of 'Anna Hibiscus' Song' by Atinuke.
