Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. 'Picturesque' is an adjective which means attractive or scenic; like a village so pretty it could be on a postcard.
  2. 'Remote' is an adjective which means far away and alone; like an island where one person lives all by himself.
  3. 'Rural' is an adjective which means rustic or natural; like being in the countryside.
  4. 'Quaint', 'coastal' and 'bucolic' are other rich vocabulary associated with a village.

Keywords

  • Noun - a naming word for people, places or things

  • Adjective - a word that describes a noun

  • Synonym - a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word

  • Word pair - words that often appear together

Common misconception

Pupils may think that the words can only be used to describe villages.

Explain that the words can be used in different contexts, such as 'bucolic charm' or 'rural scenery'. Provide pupils with additional sentences using these words so they can hear how to use them in context.

If you have extra time, you could ask pupils to write a sentence using each word. Encourage pupils to use the word pairs to help them.
