Key learning points
- Revisiting vocabulary like numbers, colours and animals is important; it helps you remember previously learnt words.
- Exploring a poem builds grammar, vocabulary and fluency.
- Reference resources like dictionaries give word meaning, word class and gender, and develop independent writing.
- Adjectives agree with the gender and number of the noun; they add detail to description.
Keywords
Gender - grammatical categorisation of all nouns as masculine or feminine
Word class - category of words of similar functions, e.g. nouns, adjectives, verbs or adverbs
Common misconception
Reference resources, like dictionaries, only provide the definition of a word.
Reference resources, like dictionaries, also indicate word class and gender.
Teacher tip
Pupils will be most successful with the final writing task if they have access to reference resources (such as bilingual dictionaries or online reference resources). These will allow pupils more independence with the writing task and develop understanding about word class and gender.
