I liked the exercise using an Annotated sketch of a scene. The children enjoyed this. However the phrasing of questions based on the effect of verbs.. adjectives.. Technique used by Walliams wasn't great. Drawing attention to verbs.. Adjectives is good but the questions relating to effect are a bit vague. Unclear. It confused most students in class. The worksheet on Mr. Hawtrey was useful. The worksheet on feelings was beneficial too. Thanks.
