Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to select and record lists of adjectives that can be used to describe different story settings for core and extension ability levels and a set of cards to build groups of adjectives that can match a range of story settings for support ability levels.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to select powerful and exciting adjectives to use in expanded noun phrases to describe different story settings.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate narrative techniques used by authors to describe story settings, practise building words by adding the suffix ed to words with stressed final syllables and extend sentences using conjunctions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
