Developing vocabulary associated with inspiration
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can effectively use new vocabulary associated with inspiration.
Key learning points
- 'Inspired' is an adjective which means feeling full of ideas and excited to do something.
- 'Passionate' is an adjective which means feeling a strong love or enthusiasm for something.
- 'Curious' and 'imaginative' are other adjectives associated with inspiration.
- Word choices must be precise in writing and speaking.
Keywords
Adjective - a word that describes a noun
Synonym - a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word
Common misconception
Pupils may find it challenging to know what or who inspires them.
When introducing 'inspired', talk about pupils' different sources of inspiration and how this impacts them.
Teacher tip
When completing the CfUs in LC1, pupils can share imaginary scenarios. They do not have to always give real-life, personal experiences.
