Full teaching script
  1. Today: Fronted adverbials. Our goal: Open a sentence with an adverbial and a comma.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. A fronted adverbial sets the scene before the main action: 'Later that evening, the fox returned.' It tells when, where or how, and a comma often follows it, especially when it is long or helps clarity.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Rewrite five plain sentences with fronted adverbials.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
