Learning objective
- To write descriptive sentences
National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Describe people, places, things and actions orally and in writing.
- Understand basic grammar appropriate to the language being studied, including (where relevant): feminine and masculine neuter forms…how to apply these, for instance, to build sentences.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: work in a group with an adult as a scribe, using the scaffold and the unit Knowledge Organiser for support.
Pupils working at greater depth: challenge them to focus on writing their character description without the support of the scaffold. They can self-assess against the scaffold and unit Knowledge Organiser and correct any errors. Some may wish to present their description to the class.
During the week
- Use the Activity: Red herring cards again to make more human sentences
- Repeat the portraits exercise with a different portrait and set of sentences.
- Add to the class collection of character adjectives.
