  • Term 2: Week 4

    Plan: Formal Writing: PEEL Paragraphs 

    Apparently, it's week 4. Hi everyone! If you have a look at the pie chart above, you will see the 8F1 AND 8F2 class votes for a potential plan and context for term 2! Short films won by about 40% for both classes. However, it looks like Photo Collages were a close second. So I'll be thinking up a plan so we can somehow cover both! In the meantime, sit back and relax with more Formal Writing for one more week. Here is your weekly plan: 

    Monday (S1)

    - Imagine there was a "bring your pets to school day" (and we weren't on lockdown). Write a letter to the school with an introduction, 1 PEEL body paragraph AND a conclusion about why you think this would be a good or a bad idea.  Make sure you use the conventions of letter writing such as a greeting like "Dear" or "To whom it may concern" and a letter closure like "Thanking you" or "Yours faithfully" for example. Upload these on Google Classroom. 

    Tuesday (S2)

    Google Meet @ 11 AM -  Catch-up and guided activity: 

    - Visual Journals: On Google classroom, submit a single slide with 5 pictures (photos - not from the internet) on what you've been up to or what you do throughout the day. 

    Thursday (S1)

    - Write an essay with an introduction, 3 body paragraphs and a conclusion on the topic "Zoos are worse than human prisons." You will need to research the topic to add depth to your writing and will need to use more than 4 sentences per paragraph. These are to be uploaded to Google Classroom (Due Saturday).


    Please remember to complete your Reading Plus and Maths Buddy tasks!

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