Teach noun groups with this comprehensive teacher slide deck, designed to explicitly teach how authors use expanded noun groups to create more detailed, precise and engaging writing.

Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, this teacher slide deck provides a scaffolded pathway from explicit teacher modelling to guided analysis and supported application. Students explore how noun groups can be expanded using carefully selected adjectives and modifiers to add clarity, specificity and depth to their writing.

These teacher slides can be used independently. Note: Where the teacher slides reference printable independent activities, these are available in the full lesson bundle here.

Through close examination of modelled texts, collaborative discussion and structured learning experiences, students identify the parts of noun groups and analyse how authors deliberately expand them to strengthen description. Students investigate the role of different adjective types, including colour, size, appearance, behaviour, quantity and material, and explore when commas are required between multiple adjectives.
