We have been investigating the features of adverts and persuasive writing.
One feature that we spent time inquiring into was the use of strong descriptive words. The students identified and found many different adjectives (describing words) and then explored how these change to make them stronger or more powerful. These are known as adjectives----> comparatives----> superlatives.
For example: small ---> smaller----> smallest
tasty---> tastier------> tastiest
big------> bigger-------> biggest
exciting---> more exciting----->most exciting
good------> better----------> best
The students grouped the words to try and come up with patterns or rules to help them remember how different words change.
