- Adjectives can be used to describe a character's appearance, such as 'furry' wolf.

Personality - the special qualities that make a character themselves
Appearance - what someone or something looks like
Adjective - adds detail to a noun
Joining word - a word that joins words or ideas
Common misconception
Pupils may not know what constitutes 'one single idea' to effectively create a compound sentence.
Use the sentence scaffolds as much as possible, so that pupils are only adding their own adjectives. The purpose of this lesson is initial introduction to joining two ideas, rather than expecting them to be secure, so model as much as is needed.
