Lesson details
Key learning points
- You can use prepositions to move seamlessly between parts of a character description.
- You can reveal aspects of your character’s personality and lifestyle through describing their outward appearance.
- Brackets can add more detail about the character in a description.
- You can use brackets in the middle or end of a sentence to add more information about a character.
Keywords
Condescending - having an attitude of patronising superiority
Dismissive - feeling that someone is unworthy of attention
Irreproachable - faultless; impossible to criticise
Common misconception
Pupils may incorrectly punctuate sentences when using brackets.
Full stops go outside of the brackets when the bracketed phrase is part of a larger sentence. Full stops go inside of the brackets when the bracketed phrase is a sentence in itself.
