A summary of the 3 worksheets is as follows: Word Bank exercise - students are given a grid with 10 different phrases that describe how someone might speak for example: “talking loudly”, “asking a question”," addressing an audience" etc. Students are asked to complete the grid with 3 appropriate “said” words for each phrase that could be used to describe someone talking in that way.

Complete the sentence application task - students are provided with 10 sentences containing speech with the “said” word missing. Students should read the sentence and fill in the missing “said” word for each sentence.

Independent Sentence Writing Application - the final worksheet should challenge older learners to construct the whole sentence independently, remembering to correctly use an alternative “said” word. In this worksheet, students are provided with 5 scenarios where a conversation is taking place for example: two friends playing Minecraft together, friends organising a party etc. Students are asked to write a brief conversation that the characters might have in each of the given scenarios.

Sheets are presented clearly and simply.

This resource is a whole lesson on the topic of creative writing and writing speech that specifically looks at including adverbs when writing speech to further describe how a character is speaking. The lesson includes an interactive presentation that can be worked through. The presentation is highly interactive through regular questions, short and long activities, games, and worked examples so that students take an active part of their learning journey and engage a range of senses and skills. The presentation is structured in 4 parts as follows: Why should we consider adding adverbs to our speech writing? Including a reminder of what adverbs are and how we use them. Worked Examples Application to Sentences Activities Worked Examples The worked examples help students create a word bank of adverbs that they can then use in their sentences. To help students think about appropriate adverbs and their contexts, the presentation breaks the subject down into different features of speech; taking each feature one at a time. This section is structured as follows: adverbs to describe feelings, adverbs to describe volume, adverbs to describe pace, adverbs to describe tone, adverbs relevant to the situations that someone may be speaking in, adverbs relevant to someone’s motivation for speaking. Students take an active part in gathering this knowledge by being involved in class discussions which will lead to the creation of class mind maps. To accompany these class activities, the presentation goes through its own mind maps for each of the factors so that students should finish this section with a bank of words they can apply to their sentences. Application to Sentences This section begins with a short passage of text involving a conversation between several characters containing no adverbs. The presentation then looks at the conversation a sentence at a time and shows how an appropriate adverb could be added to each sentence. The presentation takes this section sentence at a time to increase accessibility. By looking at multiple sentences, it allows for a range of adverbs to be demonstrated in appropriate contexts. Students are encouraged to complete the task in their own books, choosing their own words, along with the presentation. The presentation gives an example at each point to help those who may lack confidence to choose independently. Activities The presentation concludes with 2 activities. Including: Sentence building dice game Charades Each activity looks to develop different interpersonal skills such as leadership, communication, confidence, alongside academic learning. Subtle colour, images, and animations are used throughout the presentation to aid memory and ensure the presentation is aesthetically engaging.
