  • Term 2: Week 2


    Plan: Digital learning, Google Meeting and Creative writing 

    Welcome back to the second week of English using Online Learning! Thank you for keeping in contact and emailing me questions so far! It's good to see most of you engaged in your learning even when we cannot meet in person. Without further delay, here is your weekly plan.

    Tuesday (S1)

    1. Hedgehogs reading comprehension task  - On Google classroom, you will find 3 versions of the same story at Easy, Medium and Difficult. Choose whichever level you feel most comfortable reading and then answer the questions about the text. Further instruction can be found on Google Classroom. This task should take about 15-20mins

    2. Story comparison - Have a read of 2 of the same short scary story entitled "The Seance". Notice the difference between showing and telling between the two versions, as well as the use of language features in the second. This is to help guide you when writing your own Creative Writing Assessment. There will also be a list of adjectives (describing words) you may want to use I your own story. This will also be on Google Classroom.

    3. Continue writing and editing your Creative Writing Assessment. 


    Thursday (S4)

    1. Google Meet @ 12PM - catch-up, queries and questions 

    2. Continue writing and editing your Creative Writing Assessment. 


     Friday (S1)

    1. Re-write sentences task - On Google Classroom there will be a list of 3 sentences which "Tell" the reader what is happening. I would like you to re-write these so that they "show" the reader instead. Further instructions will be on Google Classroom. 

    2. Continue writing and editing your Creative Writing Assessment (due 25th April - you have had a total of 3 months)

    Take care, and I'll speak to you soon!
