Lesson details
Key learning points
- The purpose of the build-up is to develop the plot/characters, introduce a problem and build up tension and excitement.
- Our plan will contain ambitious vocabulary.
- Our plan will contain nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs.
- Using ambitious vocabulary helps to paint a vivid picture in the reader’s mind and make writing exciting to read.
Keywords
Ambitious vocabulary - high-level language in writing that meets the text purpose
Planning - creating a framework before writing a section or whole text
Common misconception
Pupils may find it challenging to generate ambitious verbs, adverbs, nouns and adjectives all at once.
Depending on the abilities in the class, you may wish to focus on just one of these aspects in the plan e.g. only adjectives and nouns. Alternatively, children could work in pairs or small groups to generate their plans.
