Section outline

Continuing from last week...focusing on precise vocabulary and language features to develop our writing skills.
The Big 10C2 Lockdown Story Challenge....
1. Get into teams and email me the people in your team (you decide the number of each team)
2. One you have emailed me your team, I will assign you all a group task document, which will contain the details.
3. You will be able to choose your genre and overall plot. HOWEVER, at certain points in your narrative, I will drop in a sentence that you have to work with. E.g. At that moment, the ground began to shake. You will then need to decide as a team how to work with this - is it an earthquake? The arrival of a heavy vehicle or machine? You decide!
In addition, READING RESPONSE skills.
Choose a novel that you have not already read from MHJC Wheelers, or one you have at home. Ensure that it is suitable for your age group - no Intermediate books please!
Your personal novel study will begin next week. You will have the whole month of May to complete the tasks on Education Perfect, plus other tasks I will set you during the month.
