SPaG starters- Improving vocabulary : WoW words & appropriate connectives

Both these starters aim to fine-tune vocabulary so that students actually say what they mean. The vocabulary match gets definitions right to expand their word-hoard, while the connectives exercise picks up on some common mis-usage and gets students to choose more appropriate connectives. In each case the first slide gives the task which is also on the handout and then the students can check their won work from the PP. A drip-feed of SPaG starters will keep students mindful of using language correctly while improving their knowledge of how the language works.
