Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe how to structure and format a recount of a severe weather event and a worksheet to compose sentences to show what different people might have said to describe when, where or how things happened in the weather.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use fronted adverbials to suggest what someone might have said to describe when, where or how things happened in the weather.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to compose and edit an informal recount about a significant weather event that could happen at the school. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
