Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to select and use different conjunctions to link clauses in example sentences about a range of story characters that feature in a story by a significant author to show their thoughts and actions.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to describe a character that could feature in a story by a significant author using adjectives and conjunctions in example sentences.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to research and model different ways that authors describe and use characters in narrative stories, practise identifying words with irregular past tense spellings and write sentences to describe story characters using conjunctions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
