﻿Hi, how are you doing today? Welcome to our next "Highwayman" lesson, which is all about generating vocabulary to help us write the second part of the buildup. So I hope you're feeling ready to learn. Let's get started. In this lesson you will need an exercise book or some paper, something to write with and your brain. If you haven't got something that you need, pause the video, go and collect it and then join us when you're ready. So we will start with our writing warmup. Then we will do some reading aloud. Then we would generate vocabulary for the buildup part two, and we will practise writing some sentences at the end of the lesson. So what are we doing for our writing warmup? Let's see. You've got some, match the sentences to their sentence type. Or redo those sentences in a minute, but let's just check because as I'm reading them, you need to think about whether they are a simple sentence, a compound sentence, or a complex sentence. Okay, so have those at three in your mind, as I'm reading the sentences aloud. Number one. From behind the stable door, Tim saw the highwayman, talking to Bess. Number two. As the highwayman spoke to Bess, Tim listened from the shadows. And number three, Tim hid in the shadows and spied on the highwayman. Pause the video now and write down whether you think each sentence is a simple, a compound or complex. You can just write number one and then your answer, number two, your answer and number three and your answer. Pause video now. Okay, should we check? So the first one, it's a simple sentence. It's quite a long, simple sentence. And I'm going to just break it down in each part. That first bit, that bit in bold, that's a prepositional phrase that just tells us where Tim is. Where is Tim? He's behind the stable door. So that's a prepositional phrase to start off that sentence. And then the rest of it, that's the main clause. So a simple sentence has how many clauses? One. It has one main clause. Let's see what the second sentence is. It's a complex sentence. Oh, okay, let's see why. So the first bit it's the bit that's bolded. That must be the subordinate clause. Now remember a subordinate clause does not make sense on its own. Ask the highwayman spoke to Bess that doesn't make sense on its own, does it? And then you can see that the next bit, the bit that's underlined is the main clause. Tim listened from the shadows. So we know that complex sentences have to have, a subordinate clause and a main clause. Well done, if you've got that right. So this one is a compound sentence because it's got two main clauses and you can see the bits that are underlined of the clauses and they're joined by something. They're joined by a coordinating conjunction. What's the coordinating conjunction in this sentence? Tell me. Oh yes, and, okay. So Tim hit in the shadows that's main clause number one, and is the coordinating conjunction and spied on the highwayman is the second main clause. Well done for our writing warmup. So in our next section, we're going to read aloud verse four and five. I will do a little bit of reading aloud and then you can pause the video and have a go yourself. "And in the dark old inn-yard, a stable-wicket Creaked "where Tim the ostler listen. "His face was white and peaked. "His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay, "He listened and he heard the robber say," Your turn to pause the video and have a go reading this verse aloud. Pause the video now. Did you have a go? So should we have a look at the next verse, verse five, my turn to read and then your turn after I've done it. "'One kiss my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight, But I shall be back with a yellow gold before the morning light.'" Your turn to pause the video and read aloud this verse. Did you have a really good go? Well done. So I'm main part of this lesson is generating, vocabulary for the buildup. That means coming up with lots of great words, to write about or to use when we write about what happens in the buildup. So, let's have a think about Tim, first of all. How can we introduce him? And we can think about where he is? So the prepositional phrases, and we can also think about what he was doing. So I really precise verb choices. So for example, one of my prepositional phrases is in the stable. Tim is in the stable, okay. And one of my precise verb choices is listened. But I've also got an adverb to go with that. What's the adverb I've got? Intently. Do you think that means he listened like casually and he wasn't really listening, he was just kind of not listening carefully? Or do you think that means he was really, really listening closely and trying to hear what they were saying? I think the last one intently means where you really, try hard at something. So you need to pause the video now and write down, three more prepositional phrases to explain where Tim is. And three more verbs to explain what he's doing. And if you want to challenge yourself, you can think about the adverbs that go with those verbs to tell us a little bit more about how those verbs are done. Pause the video now. Okay, I hope you've come up with some amazing lists. Let's see what I've written. So these were my four prepositional phrases, we already had in the stable. I also thought about behind the door, he was a few yards away. And that's really interesting because we don't have that word yards much anymore. Have you heard a bit before? Not heard of it before? It's not very commonly used, but it is a unit of measurement that was used around the time of the highwayman and after that, but we don't use it very much today. So he could also be around the corner. Tell me one of your propositional phrases. Okay, well done. Should we have a look at the list of verbs that I got? And I've also managed to put some, adverb choices there as well. So we already spoken about this. We've already spoken about listened intently. My next one said, spied stealthily. Like he's spying on them, spying on them stealthily. Now stealthily, if you do something stealthily, it means you don't want to be caught. So I think that's quite a precise adverb choice to go with that verb spied. The next one says, peered inconspicuously. Should we say that one? Peered inconspicuously. Do you know what peered means? Peer at me. Well done. And then inconspicuously is similar to stealthily. It means that you do something without wanting to be noticed. So Tim didn't want to be seen by Bess or the highwayman, did he? Another one I thought of is that he crouched quietly. Didn't want to make a sound. So he has a crouch behind the door quietly. Can you tell me one of your verb choices? Well done, can you act it out for me? Was it something like peered or crouched or spied? Can you act yours outs? well done. So the next thing we're thinking about is what vocabulary we could use to describe Tim's appearance? So we've talked about where he was, we've talked about what he was doing and now we get to talk about what he looks like. So, let's read aloud, the lines from the poem that gives a bit more description about what he looks like. "His face was white and peaked. "His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay." So I've got some words on the screen for you, and then in a minute, you're going to sort them out into words we could use to describe him and couldn't use to describe him. I'm going to say each word and you can set it back to me. Scruffy, dishevelled, smart, well-dressed, elegant, unkempt. So, there are three words that you could use, and three words that you couldn't use. That would not be appropriate to describe Tim's appearance as. So you need to pause the video now and write down your three words that you could use, your three words that you couldn't use. You can do a tick and across and then write them underneath. Pause the video now. So what did you think? Let's see the words that we could use from that list. We could have scruffy. We could have dishevelled, which is another way of saying scruffy and unkempt as well. I wonder if you've heard of that word before, unkempt. Which is again, another way of saying really, really scruffy, scruffy clothes, scruffy hair, messy hair, maybe a dirty face. So really not very smart at all. So we couldn't have smart, elegant or well-dressed, he's not any of those things. Did you get all those? I bet you did. So we now need to think about some words to describe how he felt. So remember, he's listening to the highwayman, talking to Bess. I wonder what adjectives you could use to describe how he felt. We'd like you to pause the video now and write down three adjectives that you could use here. Pause the video now. Should we see what's I got? So I thought it's about these ones. Maybe he's getting quite angry. Why is the highwayman here, so late at night? Maybe he's feeling a bit jealous. Hmm, maybe he's feeling a bit jealous that the highway man is talking to Bess. Maybe he's feeling a bit frightened. Okay, did you get any of those adjectives? Tell me an adjective you got. Well done. So, like we have done in a previous lesson. I'd like you to think about precise verb choices to show these emotions. So for example, if you're feeling angry, in fact can you show me an angry face? What would you do with your hands if you were feeling angry? Oh, okay, so you could say something like, he clenched his fists. Can you clench your fists. That shows that were really, really angry. If you're feeling jealous, maybe your heart might sink at their sites of the highwayman talking to Bess. You're feeling really jealous about that. If you're feeling frightened, what might happen? A shiver might run down your spine. So I've used some precise verb choices to show these emotions. Can you write down, one show not tell for your adjective that you chose. If you chose one of my adjectives, if you guessed what I had thought. And can you think about another way to show, not tell. Pause the video now. Have you had to go? Well done. So let's look at the next little bit of the poem. "'One kiss my Bonnie sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight, But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light.'" What does he mean by this? Let's have a few questions that you need to think about. What does he mean by this? Has he won something? What do you think? Show me with your thumbs. One, two, three. He hasn't won anything. Who does the highway man want to steal from? Does he want to steal from Tim? Does he want to steal from Bess? Does he want to steal from a rich traveller? Have a second to think about that. And let's say it together he wants to sell from, a rich traveller. Okay, now let's look at this in a bit more detail. And I've bolded and coloured some words, and I would like you to write down any other ways that you would write this. So my bonny sweetheart, that could be something like, oh my true love, my beautiful Bess. The other words you've got to think about, I'm after a prize tonight, remember he wants go and steal something, doesn't he? That's what that means. But I shall be back. How else could you write that? I shall be back with the yellow gold. What's he referring to there? And he says, "I'll be back before the morning lights." So how else could you say that he'll be back before the morning lights? You've got five different things to think about. Pause the video and write down your ways that you would write about each of those parts. Pause the video now. Should we have a look at what I thought? So instead of saying bonny sweetheart, we could say my love, my beautiful Bess. What did you write? You wrote anything that's similar? Okay, well done. And I'm after a price tonight, I thought, Oh, he's off to steal something. He's going to rob someone. But I shall be back, in other words, how could you say that? I'll be back. I promise I'll return. I swear I'll be back. Yellow gold, what's that referring to? Oh, sorry, We're doing the morning lights. So before the morning lights. In other words well he'd be back soon or not very soon? Very soon. Before dawn or by dawn or by sunrise, which is when the sun comes up and maybe you could say in a few hours. And then the yellow gold, hat refers to some gold jewellery or some coins or a beautiful ring for her. So what vocabulary could we use for the highwayman speaking? So we're not going to say, "Uh, I'll be back soon," said the highwayman. We could say, "I'll be back soon," promised the highwayman. And then we could add our adverb lovingly. So your turn to pause the video and write down two more verbs. So two more synonyms for said, which means two other ways of saying said and two adverbs. So my words were promised and lovingly instead of said. Okay, pause the video now and write down your words. Should we see what's I got? So for my verbs, I got assured. And if you assure someone, it means you'll basically saying to them, yep, I'm going to do that. Don't worry, I'm going to do that. And then I've got this one vowed, which is like a more serious way of saying promise. If you vow something to someone, it means you're going to stick to your word. You're definitely going to do what you have told them you'll do. What verbs did you get? Well done, if you'd like to write down any of my words from the screen, then you can pause the video now and do that. So should we see the adverbs I got? So we already had lovingly and then I had this one, sincerely, which means you do it in a very serious way. You want the person who you're talking to, to take what you're saying seriously. And that affectionately, is a very similar meaning to lovingly. So I think it'd be very precise for us to use that for the highwayman, talking to Bess. If you need to pause the video and write down any adverbs, you can do that now. The final parts of our lesson is going to be practising writing some sentences using the vocabulary that we've learned. Here's an example of mine. Angrily, Tim listened intently to what the highway man said to Bess. So I've used the words listened intently, that was an idea we had early one in the lesson about what Tim was doing. Here's another example, lovingly, the highwayman promised his true love he'd be back by dawn. Remember dawn, is when the sun starts to rise and it begins to get light. So can you notice what's I've started both of my sentences with? What word clause? Angrily, lovingly, I've started with an adverb, okay? So using the vocabulary that we've learned today, can you write two sentences that starts with an adverb. Pause the video now and have a go at writing your sentences. Well done, really great work today. We did our writing warmup. We read aloud. We generated lots of vocabulary for the buildup, which means that we'll be really ready to write and we practised writing some sentences. So congratulations, we finished the lesson. If you'd like to, you can share your work with your parents or carer. And I really looking forward to seeing you again soon. Have a lovely rest of your day.

In this lesson, we will read verses 4 and 5 again and generate vocabulary for each moment in these verses, ready to help us plan our writing.
