Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Adjectives can be used to describe a character's appearance and personality, such as 'enormous, greedy' giant.
- When using two adjectives, a comma is placed in between them, such as 'the enormous, greedy giant'.
- Two ideas can be joined together using 'and' to form one sentence.
- Using 'and' connects two ideas together.
- Referring to the giant as 'he' after naming him makes writing less repetitive.
Common misconception
Pupils may find it difficult to recognise that an idea must make sense on its own.
Support pupils using a sentence scaffold that guides them to join another complete simple sentence with 'and' rather than using 'and' followed by another phrase or expanded noun phrase.
