Question Tags in Informal Speech and Writing Application
Worksheet
In this writing task children are asked to use question tags within statements for what the people who are pictured might say to you.
This Year 6 Question Tags in Informal Speech and Writing Application worksheet would be a great assessment tool as children use what they know about question tags and apply it to their writing. This activity can be completed independently but could also be used as a discussion point for small groups or interventions.
The worksheet comes with a model answer which can be shared with the children as a good example or to aid your marking.
