Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. 'Compassionate' is an adjective which means feeling somebody else’s pain and wanting to help.
  2. 'Shy' is an adjective which means feeling nervous around other people.
  3. 'Included' and 'respectful' are other adjectives that are associated with friendship.
  4. Word choices must be precise in writing and speaking.

Common misconception

Pupils may be confused by the adjective 'included' and use it as a verb.

Model using 'included' in sentences as a verb and also as an adjective. This is a good opportunity to recap word classes.

Keywords

  • Adjective - a word that describes a noun

  • Synonym - a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word

Start the lesson by discussing what it means to be a good friend and what pupils consider to be important qualities in a good friend. You could ask pupils, 'What are examples of good friendships in books, TV and films?'
