The slides in this Smart Notebook look at the differences within sentence types, clauses and conjunctions. There is a brief recap of word classes from a previous lesson with children identifying examples of each within sentences before recapping subject and object; when to use I or me, was or were; coordinating and subordinating conjunctions; phrase; main, subordinate and relative clauses; and the structure of sentences. Examples of each are contained within non-contextualized sentences, similar to those that appear in the end of Key Stage 2 statutory assessments. Also included are ‘distractors’ for example when words might be used as conjunctions or prepositions. As such, the content of slides will require varying degrees of critical thinking and can be used to generate discussions with a partner and within the class. Correct answers can also be revealed along with additional teaching points. Although aimed directly for those teaching Years 5/6, it is also relevant for any KS2 or Y7 teacher and may also be used for professional development and staff training purposes. The lesson is intended to take place within an hour. Any reviews or feedback on the content of the lesson and any improvements that could be made would be greatly appreciated. If you like of the free resources, please check out the premium ones, including Bundle options such as the SATs Revision Collection with 44 slides of Reading resources, 67 slides to support teaching and learning in SPaG and 114 slides of Maths resources. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12830891

The slides in this Smart Notebook look at different word classes: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns and determiners (conjunctions will be covered separately). Children are asked to identify examples of each within non-contextualized sentences, similar to those that appear in the end of Key Stage 2 statutory assessments. Also included are ‘distractors’ as words are often used in different ways e.g. I love fish and chips; I have a love of fish and chips; fish and chips are lovely; I looked at the fish and chips lovingly. As such, the class of word used will require critical thinking and can be used to generate discussions. Correct answers can be revealed along with additional teaching points.
