This resource is a whole lesson on expanded vocabulary, specifically looking at alternatives ways of describing something without using the word “very”. The lesson takes the form of a presentation which is structured into four parts:
Learning intentions, key words, context
Worked examples
Application to sentences and writing
Activities
Throughout the lesson there are regular opportunities for student interaction to ensure students have an active part in their learning. Such interaction is aided in the form of questions (to which the answers are given in the presentation), scaffolded examples that the students can complete along with the presentation, and scaffolded opportunities for application.
The powerpoint covers three worked examples where students where can have an active part in working through those examples along with the presentation. The lesson invites students to have a go themselves before offering suggestions and demonstrations of how an answer could be reached.
Similarly, the lesson demonstrates application to sentences in a worked example that the students can try out and follow first, before encouraging more independent work at the end.
Two activities are included which are designed to be real-life applicable independent tasks. Both activities target different skill sets. The first activity is a survey writing activity. The second activity looks at thesaurus skills and the use of a thesaurus to expand vocabulary. Both activities are clearly explained with examples in the lesson.
Colour and images are used throughout to provide aesthetic advantages and aid memory. Slides are simply structured with animations and titles. Slides are not overloaded with information, but teaching is broken down into smaller chunks, included interactive activities throughout to help keep students engaged and enhance understanding.
Lesson would work well in conjunction with the worksheet pack on “alternative ways of saying very”, also available in the shop, however, this is not necessary. The lesson involves enough content to not require additional worksheets / activities.
A collection of 4 worksheets on expanded vocabulary. Each worksheet looks to target different skills and includes a different activity for variation.
The 4 worksheets are as follows:
Wordsearch - ideal starter or plenary activity. Wordsearch involves 16 ambitious vocabulary words. Answers are provided on a separate sheet.
Cut and stick - ideal for younger children. Matching the less ambitious word to a more ambitious alternative. Worksheet completes with a written application task which could be used to push certain learners forward.
A-Z activity - excellent starter or plenary activity. Could be expanded out to include dictionary / thesaurus skills. Could be completed as an individual or in teams. Could be made into a competition / race for added variation.
Application writing worksheet - worksheet comes in two parts to allow for differentiation. First half involves simple sentences with simple adjectives underlined so students have to re-write and swap out the underlined words for more ambitious vocabulary. Second half has simple sentences with no adjectives. Students must add their own.
Worksheets would work best in conjunction with the Expanded Vocabulary lesson also available from the shop, however, they would also work as standalone activities.
The variety of worksheets ensures they are applicable and appropriate for a range of ages, development stages, and purposes.
Easy accessible layout.
