Lesson details
Key learning points
- The climax should be the most exciting part of a story for the reader.
- Two simple sentences joined together with a joining word is called a compound sentence.
- We can use our plan to help form full sentences for writing.
- Fronted adverbials of manner tell the reader how something was done or how a character felt.
- Adverbs are words that describe a verb.
Keywords
Fronted adverbial of manner - a sentence starter that tells the reader how something happened or how a character was feeling
Compound sentence - a sentence formed of two simple sentences and a joining word
Joining word - a word that joins words or ideas
Adverb - a word that describes a verb
Common misconception
Pupils often miss out the joining word 'and' when writing compound sentences.
Show pupils some examples of sentences missing the word 'and' and ask them to spot what is missing and where it should go. Encourage pupils to read back through their writing to check every sentence makes sense.
