Lesson details
Key learning points
- Writing is most successful when structure, content and vocabulary are planned.
- We aim to use a range of narrative elements in our writing and to set an appropriate mood with them.
- We use a range of cohesive devices to connect ideas, including a variety of fronted adverbials.
- We can create compound adjectives using hyphens to add descriptive detail.
- We can use dialogue to add to the tense mood of our writing.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to connect ideas with appropriate cohesive devices.
When completing shared writing, model considering and rejecting different ways of combining or connecting ideas; there is almost always more than one 'right' way and it is up to us to decide which we want to use.
