Good Morning Class 4!

I am glad so many of you enjoyed the video of The Tempest yesterday. It really is an exciting text for us to be looking at!

Today’s English lesson will be a SPaG sessions. What you learn today you will need to use in this week’s writing task.

First of all, let’s look at some punctuation…

Using Bullet Points
Bullet points can be used to
•Break up complicated information
•Make it easier to read
•Turn it into a list
Don’t forget to add a colon before the list.
You can visit the BBC Bitesize website for a short video tutorial:

Punctuation Exercise
Prospero is trying to practise magic but is having trouble following this spell. Can you use colons and bullet points to re-write this spell as a clearer set of instructions?

This is a magic spell to bring thunder, lightning and rain together to make a Tempest. Ingredients, two burning pieces of wood, 500g crackling black pepper, a tambourine, three sprigs of sea holly, a crushed light bulb. This is how to make a Tempest and cause boats to be torn apart and shipwrecked. Warm a large pan over an open fire. Add a crushed light bulb and 500g of crackling black pepper to the pan. Wait for it to start smoking. Stir in the sea holly. Break up the tambourine and throw the pieces in. Put on heatproof gloves and pick up the burning pieces of wood. Toss the wood into the pan. Wait for the flames to disappear. Sing ‘Tempest, Tempest, Tempest’ three times. Throw the potion into the sea.

Next, let’s think about some grammar…

A verb is a word used to describe an action, state or occurrence. When writing, make sure every sentence includes a verb.

Grammar Exercise

Imperative verbs are verbs which tell someone what to do. They are sometimes called ‘bossy verbs’.

For example:

Throw the potion into the sea.

Toss the wood into the pan.

Sprinkle the light bulb into the potion.

Can you write 5 of your own sentences using imperative verbs? They could be giving someone directions around your house or you could be telling someone how to make your breakfast? Think of it as a set of instructions.

I hope you enjoy!
