Why this why now
Pupils already know that 'su' and 'sus' mean his, her or its, and now learn that 'su' also means 'their'. Pupils combine this knowledge with the third person singular and plural of the preterite, and third person singular and plural pronouns to talk about what famous people do by themselves or as a couple. Pupils anchor raised intonation in yes/no questions and possessive adjectives 'vuestro/a/os/as' in the context of asking famous people about themselves.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to conjugate singular and plural persons of regular verbs in the preterite.
- Pupils know to turn a statement into a question by using raised intonation, and that these questions are translated with a form of 'do' in English.
- Pupils know possessive adjectives 'su' and 'sus' meaning 'his', 'her', 'its'.
- Pupils know possessive adjectives 'vuestro', 'vuestra', 'vuestros', 'vuestras'.
- Pupils know sound-symbol correspondences [ja], [jo], [ju], [ga], [go], [gu].
