It's that part of term again where we go back to Formal Writing for 2 weeks (as previously mentioned, 2 weeks per beginning of term are always dedicated to formal writing in preparation for your end of year test). Without further ado, here is your weekly plan:

- Watch the following clip on simple PEEL Paragraphs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1tZ3uiOa_A
- Re-write your paragraph, going further in-depth with the topic (be more specific) using the example in the clip to guide you
