Father’s Day Writing Lesson Emotive Language

This download is a Father’s Day writing lesson to teach Key Stage 2 pupils how to improve their use of emotive language. Pupils can choose to write the emotive letter to their father (for Father’s Day) or a special person in their lives. Although their is a mention to Father’s Day at the beginning, the lesson is designed to be inclusive of all family types.

Pupils learn to elicit emotion through:

• Using the power of three
• Using superlative adjectives
• Using abstract nouns
• Using examples to illustrate points

Pupils are tasked with writing the letter to a special person in their lives (which could be their father) to tell them why they are special to them. There are three differentiated challenges to allow pupils to stretch themselves.

The lesson guides pupils through the planning and writing process, with teacher examples and tasks given along the way.

Included: PowerPoint teacher’s presentation and PDF version of the same presentation.
