<p>Set of resources introducing the idea of classification and the need for systems to organise masses of information.</p>
<p>Includes resources for students to use over two lessons to build their own dichotamus key to classify Mr Men characters.</p>
<p>For secondary school students ages 11-15 learning about descriptions.<br />
This lesson introduces personality adjectives using fun Mr Men and Little Miss characters. It includes grammar slides for adjective agreement and the verb ‘SER’. Also included are memory games for the new learning. The lesson finishes with translation sentences both from Spanish to English, and English to Spanish to consolidate learning.</p>
I loved the Mr Men cross-breeding resource uploaded on here by pyrites and have extended this idea. I showed profiles of the characters to the students and got them to work out possible gene pairings for a couple of their choosing. They then discussed how the couple would react after genetic screening revealed their offspring would have the undesirable characteristics.

<p>PPT and description cards for descriptive vocabulary lesson. Aim of the lesson is for children to up-level their description of characters.</p>
<ol>
<li>Children read the vocabulary statements and match the description to a Mr Men character. Each sentence should match to one of the four characters. I printed and cut the statements, placing them into envelopes for extra ‘fun’.</li>
<li>Discuss in a group any vocabulary they don’t understand (use a dictionary where needed and discuss as a class).</li>
<li>Once the descriptions are matched to the characters, the children then write their own character description for a Mr Men character of their choice.</li>
</ol>
<p>Character descriptions contain very high vocabulary and punctuation. This would be more suitable for UKS2 and KS3 students. This lesson has been previously used with KS1 and LKS2 also for intervention/guided reading sessions. Students thoroughly enjoy the session.</p>
<p>Reading comprehension activity - Mr Men<br />
The children have to read the character description of a Mr Men character and draw which character they think it is. Differentiated sheets KS1</p>
<p>Each Mr Men character has a set of 6 synonyms. There are 12 characters covering emotions, temperature and height. This resource can be used as a working wall display or vocabulary activity.</p>
