Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • The word order poster is a talking point rather than a label: the same six words in two orders give a class two grammatical sentences and only one likely meaning

  • Introduce the kookaburra pictured in the compound-sentence example if students are unfamiliar with the bird.

  • The labels use plain wording — subject - what, what is happening, circumstances — rather than subject, verb and adverbial, which suits lower primary but is worth reconciling with the terms used in later years

Skills covered

  • Naming the parts of a sentence — the first poster labels The bird swooped down from the tree. as subject - what, what is happening and circumstances, giving students named parts to point at during sentence work.

  • Spotting the joining word — the compound sentence poster marks clause, conjunction and clause across The lizard danced and the kookaburra laughed.
