An Exploration of Word Classes

A resource that is primarily aimed at upper key stage two, but could be used a little lower as the new curriculum properly embeds itself. A collection of sentences which pupils are encouraged to explore on a 'word level'. Individual words are highlighted and pupils need to be able to identify the 'job' of that particular word. As confidence develops, so pupils will make links between words within the same sentence, which will hopefully have an impact on the quality of their own writing. To this point, I have largely used this resource as a 'show me' activity, but I have found that the conversation that flows naturally as we further explore the sentence is of far greater value than simply identifying the word classes!
