Continuing on from yesterday’s lesson about Fantastic Mr Fox, can you write a charcter description of your own about one of the characters.
Before you do that
Watch this clip to learn about what adjectives are and how they are used.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun (the name of a thing or a place).
For example: It was a terrible book.
The word ‘terrible’ is an adjective. It tells us what the book (the noun) was like.
Adjectives can come before or after a noun.
- The book she read on holiday was terrible
- She read a terrible book on holiday
Try putting adjectives in different places in your sentences to make your writing more interesting.
If you want to describe a noun in detail, you can use more than one adjective.
For example: She had a mouldy, smelly, overpriced sandwich.
When you have a list of adjectives like this, separate them with commas.
This is a character description of Mr Twit so you know what a good one looks like.
Use your word bank from yesterday and think of your own words as much as you can but if you can’t think of your own. Then here is a wordbank to help.
Please email in your character description to your teacher. We can’t wait to read them!
One of the children asked for more information. I found this link:
Here is an EBook copy of Fantastic Mr Fox, you may want to download this to use over the next two weeks or refer to it on the blog page when completing work. We hope this is helpful.
