Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Things you like or dislike are called your 'opinions'.
- Using the word 'because' will allow you to explain why you like or dislike something.
- Speaking in full sentences helps the listener understand what is being said.
- When talking with someone, it is important to take turns and listen to what the other person is saying.
Common misconception
Pupils may try to give extended reasons for their opinions and then lose their full sentence structure.
Provide clear speaking frames and model sentence stems for the children to encourage them to speak in full, clear sentences. They only need to give one reason for each opinion.
