Common misconception
Pupils may say the incorrect pronouns or speak in the incorrect person.
Re-model sentences, emphasising the change of person "**I** lived in a magical, enchanted forest." and get the children to repeat.
Get pupils to repeat "I look..." sentences so they have an opportunity to say newly introduced vocabulary. e.g. the children mirror the facial expression and tone and repeat "I look frustrated!".
