Lesson details
Key learning points
- Adjectives can be used to describe a character's appearance and personality, such as 'enormous, greedy' giant.
- When using two adjectives, a comma is placed in between them, such as 'the enormous, greedy giant'.
- Two ideas can be joined together using 'and' to form one sentence.
- Using 'and' connects two ideas together.
- Referring to the giant as 'he' after naming him makes writing less repetitive.
Keywords
Character - a person or animal in a story
Personality - the special qualities that make a character themselves
Appearance - what someone or something looks like
Adjective - describes a noun
Joining word - a word that joins words or ideas
Common misconception
Pupils may find it difficult to recognise that an idea must make sense on its own.
Support pupils using a sentence scaffold that guides them to join another complete simple sentence with 'and' rather than using 'and' followed by another phrase or expanded noun phrase.
