Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Your imagination can help you to think of things that do not exist in real life.
  2. A noun is a naming word for people, places or things.
  3. An adjective is a word that describes a noun.
  4. It is easier for the reader to picture the nouns we are writing about if we describe them using an adjective.

Common misconception

Pupils may think that all adjectives are equally precise when describing a noun.

Teach pupils that adjectives need to be carefully chosen and selected because they describe the noun in the most precise way.

Keywords

  • Imagination - the creative tool that helps you to think of things that do not exist in real life

  • Noun - a naming word for people, places or things

  • Adjective - a word that describes a noun

You may wish to play some imaginative games with your class to help their imaginations blossom. Print off pictures of toppings that could go on their monster pizzas to support pupils in generating adjectives.
