I can effectively use the words ‘scrutinise’, ‘glimpse’ and other rich vocabulary associated with looking or seeing.
Key learning points
- 'Scrutinise' is a verb, which means to inspect or study.
- 'Glimpse' is a verb, which means to spot or get a quick look.
- 'Peer', 'squint', 'gawk' and 'gaze' are other verbs related to looking or seeing.
Keywords
Noun - a naming word for people, places or things
Verb - a being, doing or having word
Adverb - a word that can describe a verb or an adjective
Synonym - a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word
Word pair - words that often appear together
Common misconception
Some of the word pairs will need extra explanation such as 'squint suspiciously'.
Provide an example of when someone might 'squint suspiciously'. For example, 'She squinted suspiciously at the unfamiliar figure lurking in the shadows, unsure of their intentions.'
Teacher tip
Start this lesson by showing some images of people looking at something and generate synonyms for the verb 'look'. You can then refer back to this if any of the taught words match these words.
