    Term 2: Week 2


    Context: Staying Safe Online

    Our context for this term is "Staying Safe". This concept is great because it is open to interpretation in that we are able to use many avenues to explore the topic. To me, it is a look into how we are able to stay safe at school and online.

    The overall working plan for English this term will look something like this using the term context as a slight guide: *

    - Revisiting PEEL paragraphs (2 WEEKS)

    - Short skits & scriptwriting (2 WEEKS)

    3) Build confidence in expressing our voices

    4) Create detailed and well-researched arguments
