Keywords
Viewpoint fronted adverbial - a sentence starter that gives the writer’s point of view
Viewpoint - how you see or feel about something
Common misconception
Pupils may use viewpoint fronted adverbials inaccurately by selecting the wrong intensity. For example, using 'shockingly' before a piece of information that isn't shocking.
Teach children to accurately guage the intensity of a statement or fact and then choose the right viewpoint fronted adverbial to match. You could turn this into a game they play in pairs.
Play a game outside of the lesson where the pupils tell stories about their own lives using viewpoint fronted adverbials.
