1. Look closely at an illustration

• Look at New Characters. These are six possible new characters that could join Mario in a game.
• Label each character, writing about 3-5 things that you notice about them.

2. Remind yourself about word classes

• Use the Revision Card to remind yourself about word classes.
• Complete Character Sentences. Invent a name for each of the six new characters, fill in the grid for them and then write a sentence about them.

3.  Now for some writing

• Make up a story about some of the new characters.
• Try to include adjectives and adverbs in your story.

Well done! Now read your story to a grown-up. Can you tell them the adjectives and adverbs that you have used? Can you ask them to spot any nouns or verbs that you have used?
