Year 5 homophones and near homophones drawing definitions activity.
This activity is a great way to get children to remember the definitions of homophones and near homophones, such as stationery and stationary.
Children are given the homophones and must draw a picture to explain the definition. This will increase children’s recall and understanding of alternate homophones.
Draw the sentence, draw the subordinate clause.
Students draw the sentence in the first box. Then students must identify which part is the subordinate clause and draw it in the next box.
This challenges and develops an understanding of main and subordinate clauses, whilst demonstrating the impact they have on the meaning of a sentence.
