Common misconception
Pupils may link sentences incorrectly with formal fronted adverbials that are unsuitable.
Focus on understanding the 'and' and 'but' categories of formal fronted adverbials and say the sentences out loud to hear if they make sense
Pupils would benefit from having the plans they created in the previous lesson of this unit. If they haven't completed that lesson, it would help if you gave them each a copy of a plan to guide their writing.
