Unfortunately, I will be out of school from Monday-Wednesday next week. Whilst I am away, you need to complete the following homework tasks:
L.O. To redraft a story focussing on developing use of description.
You are going to write a second draft of your ‘gadget’ story, improving it based on the comments I’ve made either on your wiki page or in your book.
I want you to focus on improving the ‘setting the scene’ passages at the beginning of your story. Revise these key skills by clicking here. (Note: there is lots of information in the 'story structure' section at baldworm.co.uk)
- Please don't adapt the first draft. Copy it, paste further down the page, and improve it as much as possible.
- Girls who have no typed up their first draft should add it to the wiki.
Need to revise suspense and action? Click here and here.
Feeling clever? Prose style makes a huge difference to your readers. Try to include all three of the following commas, and annotate the different uses using a gel pen before you hand in your book:
1. The listing comma
2. The joining comma
3. The bracketing comma
Monday: Complete the Wycombe comprehension paper. Don't forget to visit my comprehension site, here, if you don't understand what the questions are asking you to do.
L.O. To ensure you make 4 seperate points for 4 mark questions
Tuesday: Please complete the punctuation worksheets.
Wednesday: (Science homework night)
We'll come back to our comprehension podcast and the 'spy gadget story' redrafts at the end of next week.
If you have any problems send an email to baldworm@baldworm.co.uk, and I'll do my best to get back to you. Have fun!
