Dear Glenn,
I want a man who knows what love is all about.
You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who
are not like you admit to being useless and
inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I
yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when
we’re apart. I can be forever happy – will you let
me be yours?

Dear Glenn,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about
you are generous, kind, thoughtful people who
are not like you. Admit to being useless and
inferior. You have ruined me. For other men I
yearn ! For you, I have no feelings whatsoever.
When we’re apart I can be forever happy. Will
you let me be ?

How could you use a page from ‘Where’s
Wally?’ to teach SPAG?




Correctly punctuated
postcard.
Prepositions/adverbials
to identify or find
items/Wally. (In the
distance…, behind the
train…)
Conjunctions to direct a
partner to find Wally.
Main and subordinate
clauses


Expand your vocabulary. Ask
children to browse through the
newspaper, find five unfamiliar
words and look up the definition of
each. The children could create a
dictionary page containing the five
words and their meanings.
Look in the newspaper for specific
examples:
words with a particular suffix or
prefix
compound or hyphenated words
words in the past, present, and
future tenses
prepositions
plurals


Writing headlines/captions that
might include a set criterion:
question, statement, exclamation.
Conditionals to describe a picture (it
could be, it might be…)
Subjunctive from pictures or articles
(If I were at the scene of the crime, I
would…)
Ask children to blank out certain
words for a partner to replace, eg all
of the verbs, adjectives, adverbs,
conjunctions)
Transcribe articles into another
tense.
Cut up and rearrange clauses in
sentences.

As the banana chugged through the beans, she
stared out of the cucumber. Tiny strawberries
clung to the tomatoes and, in the melon,
lemons grazed. A potato ran beside the lettuce,
gurgling on its way to the radish. As she
looked out of the cucumber, she notices the
dark pineapple drifting overhead.
