Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Emotions can be different and shown in different ways, so descriptions must be chosen carefully
- An emotion describes how someone is feeling
- A character can feel different emotions at different points of a story
- Including a range of adjectives to describe the same feeling stops repetition and makes writing more interesting
- Adverbs can be used to show how someone feels when they do something, such as 'counts quietly' or 'cartwheels happily'.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate their own adverbs.
The focus of the lesson is using adverbs within a sentence, so provide as many as children may need. You can use word banks to support as well as lots of oral rehearsal.
