Just a few days to go..........
Question 1.........
How many days has it been raining this holiday?
Question 2..........
Are you looking forward to going back to school on Thursday?
Just in case you have finished your last homework, here is the next piece before you return.
L.O. To revise describing a character's appearance.
In an exam we all feel under pressure. You've only got half-an-hour to write a complete story. Most people rush through the plot, desperate to make sure they get to 'the end' - and they neglect to describe any of the characters. If you are writing a vampire story, then you need to make sure you describe what one of your vampires looks like!
Task: Write a two-three line description of the following characters. Remember to 'zoom in' on interesting details.
Please bring all of your homework in on Thursday so that it can be marked at the weekend. We look forward to seeing you then.
If you are in Shirley or town, it will help you this term if you can get travel brochures or information on St. Lucia.
Feel free to leave a comment. Remember if you sign in anonymously, please just leave your first name.
See you soon.
