Key learning points
- The purpose of the build-up is to build up suspense and excitement before the climax.
- The build-up of 'The Iron Man' describes humanity’s response to the Iron Man.
- When we plan, we log precise and ambitious vocabulary to help paint vivid pictures for our reader.
- A plan includes notes, a sequence of events and ambitious vocabulary.
- ‘Show-and-tell’ language shows a character’s feelings by describing their actions, body language and facial expressions.
Common misconception
Children may find it difficult to generate a range of precise and ambitious vocabulary in order to avoid repetition in the build up.
Model the use of a thesaurus for uplevelling vocabulary. E.g. Instead of 'ran', when describing the movements of Hogarth and his father, show other examples like 'raced', 'sped', 'sprinted', 'hurried', 'darted'.
