A presentation with examples of images and sentences from various picture books, mostly fiction. All sentences are from real texts, to reinforce teaching of fronted adverbials starting with prepositions. The presentation can be used alongside my other fronted adverbials with prepositions lessons - one each on ‘examples’, ‘how to write them’ and ‘practice writing them’ - available individually or as a bundle. (Please note, the images and accompanying text in this presentation are not copyright/royalty-free.)

This PowerPoint presentation examines the themes, vocabulary and key images of The Lost Happy Endings. The text is analysed in terms of its effect on the reader by varying the sentence structure, with emphasis on the use of adverbials. Pupils have the opportunity to answer overarching questions about the author’s approach and intentions, as well as analysing sentence structure in detail. It can be edited to suit your purposes or used as is.
