Lesson details
Key learning points
- Sequencing language can be used at the start of a sentence, such as 'Suddenly,'
- The middle of a story introduces the main plot and problem, such as the porridge overflowing
- Rehearsing a sentence out loud before writing it helps us to remember it
- Reading a sentence back after writing helps to check it makes sense
- Using an exclamation mark at the end shows shock or excitement
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.
