Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A character's emotions can change at different points of the story.
- An emotion describes how someone is feeling.
- Emotions can be different and shown in different ways, so descriptions must be chosen carefully.
- Including a range of adjectives to describe the same feeling stops repetition and makes writing more interesting.
- When you choose two adjectives to describe a noun, this is called an expanded noun phrase.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate their own adjectives.
Refer back to any adjectives generated in the previous lesson and have them available for children. When describing Paddington's emotions, clarify definitions of any key adjectives and repeat them using 'my turn, your turn'.
