I have written part of a narrative with a science fiction theme that helps children to identify cohesive devices. The first activity asks children (higher ability) to identify fronted adverbials, adverbs and adverbials phrases. The other activities focus solely on fronted adverbials and are slightly differentiated. There is an extension activity underneath asking children to add fronted adverbials to sentences.

A great activity for higher ability children or those who are confident using commas. The starter activity reminds children of all the different uses. The mian activity uses an extract from The Maze Runner. All the commas have been removed - children need to put them in the right place. There is a table showing children how any of each type is missing for support. Answers included.

A great activity to help children think about different types of characters and how they would react in different situations. This can provide a stimulus for writing narratives or playscripts. The starter is a group activity where children match dialogue and action to a well-known character. The powerpoint looks at this in a little more depth. The main activity gives children 4 different characters. Children need to imagine they just crash landed in a jungle and come up with dialogue and an action for each one. Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.

There is also an example text that uses all these devices that the children could label/find examples of each device The activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability
