Complete this sentence. What I found interesting today was…

• Ask students to tell you what a pronoun is and to give examples before they attempt Exercises 1 and 2. • Remind students that a metaphor says that a thing is something else. • From time to time, ask students to copy and complete the End of unit graphic organiser on page 157 or 3-2-1 on page 161 to reflect on their learning . Reviewing their responses will help you to plan future lessons.
