Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to select and record a list of nouns to match the determinants a or an that can precede each word and a table display card to help compose sentences containing the determinants a and an before the correct matching nouns.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore whether to use the determinants a or an before nouns in sentences related to a story setting.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to respond to stories with familiar settings to investigate story structure and descriptive vocabulary, practise adding the prefixes dis and mis to word roots and learn how to join 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.
