I wrote these as part of a teaching sequence for a year 4 class where we linked our learning to the text How To Train Your Dragon. The end outcome was to write a re-tell of chapter 1. There are three levels of differentiation in the WAGOLLS. The first one is aimed at more able children in year 4 and models the use of subordination in complex sentences, fronted adverbials, double sentence openers, noun phrases and direct speech. There is a differentiated one suitable for age related year 4 children and a simplified version for children are specifically focusing on simple and compound sentences. The higher ability version could also be used in a year 5 class as it models relative clauses and short sentences for impact.

Connecting adverbs to display in your classroom to help children with their writing.
