Devices to build cohesion - Presentation & Exercises

Grammar teaching presentation and grammar exercises.

The teaching presentation includes 22 slides that cover:

Devices to build cohesion within and across paragraphs.

• Pronouns
• Determiners
• Subordinating Conjunctions
• Adverbs
• Paragraphs
• Adverbials (including place, number, time)
• Topic Sentences

Each cohesive device is introduced, clearly explained, and an example is provided. The class is asked some simple questions to check understanding.

We then provide grammar exercises for children to:

• Practise using conjunctions correctly
• Practise using cohesive devices within a paragraph

Each collection of exercises is made up of three sets. Set A is the easiest or most accessible, Set C is the hardest or uses more complex language.

This resource is aimed at UKS2. Use the presentation to introduce or revise a grammatical concept as a stand-alone lesson or add on the accompanying exercises for children to practise and apply their knowledge.
