Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to select adjectives that can be used to describe story characters to use in example sentences with conjunctions that have been used to link sentence clauses to show the characters’ thoughts and actions.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use a range of conjunctions to link sentence clauses about different story characters.

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.
