      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can design a sandwich with descriptive captions.

      Key learning points

      1. A design is a drawn and labelled plan for what something is intended to look like when complete.
      2. A design includes labels and captions.
      3. A design includes what materials or things you will need to make it.
      4. A noun is a naming word for a person, place or thing.
      5. An adjective describes or adds detail to a noun.

      Keywords

      • Design - a drawing of a plan for what something is intended to look like

      • Noun - a naming word for a person, place or thing

      • Adjective - describes a noun

      • Caption - a brief description accompanying an image in non-fiction texts

      Common misconception

      Pupils may add a capital letter and full stop to their caption e.g. 'Fresh cucumber.'.

      When modelling, explain a caption is not a sentence. Model mistakes for children to discuss and check.

      Teacher tip

      Provide any real-life examples of when pupils have had to design something e.g. in the construction area or baking or cooking in DT.
