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.
Keywords
Vocabulary - the words a writer uses
Expanded noun phrase - a group of words with no verb that adds detail to a noun
Setting - where the story takes place
Senses - the physical abilities of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste
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.
