Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Nouns can be written in a list using commas and 'and' used before the final noun, such as 'the coins, a hen and a harp.'
- Some adverbs describing how characters move can be used at the start of a sentence, such as 'Quickly,'
- Exclamation marks can be used to show strong emotion, such as shock at finding an enormous beanstalk.
- Powerful verbs can be used to describe what characters do, such as 'crept'
- Two ideas can be joined using a joining word, 'and'
Common misconception
Pupils may want to use an exclamation mark for every sentence or overuse them.
When you introduce exclamation marks, 'give' each child one exclamation mark to put in their pockets. Tell them they can only have one, so they should only get it out of their pocket when they think it is the best place to use it.
