Lesson details
Key learning points
- Imperative verbs make the instructions very similar to commands as they are bossy and tell the reader what to do.
- Instructions are written in chronological order and use ordering fronted adverbials to sequence them.
- A plan is written in note form and will help guide us when writing.
Keywords
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Imperative verb - a type of verb that expresses an order or command
Ordering fronted adverbials - a fronted adverbial used to order or sequence
Common misconception
Pupils may think that they do not need to plan the ordering fronted adverbials they'll use because they are self-explanatory, with 'First' at the beginning and 'Finally' at the end.
Teach them that there are lots of different ordering fronted adverbials and some of them can be interchanged, such as 'Next' and 'Then'.
