    Welcome to week 10! We are going to be introduced to the term 4 context on Tuesday using school journals, then to the final writing piece for year 7 on Thursday so that you can have some thoughts over the holidays :o)


    Tuesday S3: All to be done in English books.

     There are loads of school journals, some in boxes, in one of the bottom cupboards along the front of the room - please get them all out and each student can choose 3 journals. Hand out the English books - in a tray in one of the bottom cupboards - students know where they are.
    1. Find the play in the journal, what page is it on?
    2. Write the title of the play in your English book. 
    3. Write the characters in the play in your English book
    4. Read the whole play and write a few sentences summarising the plot in the play in your English book
    5. Write one sentence saying if it is a play you would like to perform in a group and why.
    Then repeat with 2 other journals of your choice.
