This resource has been designed to assess students’ understanding of evaluative language. Students are required to identify positive or negative examples used to describe a character and explain how the words make them feel about the character. They are then required to use more positive evaluative language to describe their own character. This resource is part of a larger unit of work, Evaluative Language- Year 3.
