Lesson details
Key learning points
- A setting is where the story takes place.
- Two adjectives describing a noun is called an expanded noun phrase.
- A comma should be used to separate adjectives in an expanded noun phrase.
- We can use our senses to describe a setting.
Common misconception
Pupils may describe the setting solely based on what can be seen.
Teach pupils to use more than just one of their senses to create a more detailed description. Provide additional support e.g. playing beach sounds, bringing in sand for children to feel.
