Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A joining word can join two simple sentences.
- The second idea builds on to the first idea if 'and' is used to join them.
- Joining with 'and' is a type of co-ordination.
- Grammatically accurate sentences start with capital letters and most often end with full stops.
- Grammatically accurate sentences do not have capital letters in the middle of them, except for proper nouns.
Common misconception
Pupils may find it difficult to recognise that an idea must make sense on its own.
Model identifying the two ideas lots of times throughout the lesson before challenging pupils to do this themselves.
