Y6 Grammar Punctuation and Spelling
Subjunctive Form in Formal Speech and Writing Lesson
This lesson covers the prior learning of recognising formal and informal writing before moving onto the main skill of recognising the subjunctive form in formal speech and writing.
The lesson starts with a prior learning activity to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning with engaging reasoning and application tasks.
National Curriculum Objective:
English Year 6: (6G7.4) Recognising vocabulary and structures that are appropriate for formal speech and writing, including subjunctive forms
English Year 6: (6G7.2) The difference between vocabulary typical of informal speech and vocabulary appropriate for formal speech and writing [for example, find out – discover; ask for – request; go in – enter]
