- We can use fronted adverbials of time to add pace to our writing.
- We should aim to include all the narrative elements of action, description, dialogue and emotions in our writing.
- Oral rehearsal prior to writing helps us to write more easily.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to use all the cohesive devices listed in the lesson.
All these cohesive devices are covered in our Year 5 Grammar curriculum; some children may benefit from additional input using selected slides from that content.
