Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Adverbs can be used to describe how a character moves or speaks, such as "calmly".
  2. Sequencing language can be used at the start of a sentence, such as "Then," and "Suddenly,".
  3. Two ideas can be joined using the joining word "and".
  4. Exclamation marks can be used to show emotion, such as anger when the girl has a tantrum.

Common misconception

Adjectives and adverbs are confused.

Explain adjectives describe nouns and adverbs describe a verb. Make sure to give sufficient examples before expecting the children to write.

Keywords

  • Ending - the final part of a story, typically solving the problem

  • Problem - something that needs figuring out or solved

  • Adverb - a word that describes a verb

  • Adjective - a word that describes a noun

Allow time for the children to read aloud their story from the beginning to the end to show purpose for writing. If time, you could publish the children's writing by making their own books or typing it out.
