The next unit we are going to work on is about Blogs and Reports. 

To begin with we are going to look at the differences between formal and informal writing. Read through this PowerPoint. Then, look at this informal writing checklist. 

Here are some reviews for films that you may have seen. I would like you to read these reviews with the informal check list next to you. 

Either on the sheets or in your books, make notes about the different texts and any informal features that you see. 

When you have finished with all of the text, I would like you to list them from least formal to most formal. Justify your choices with a short explanation.

Today we're going to be thinking about what things are worth. Begin by thinking about the following questions: 

If you had £5, what would you buy? 

If you had £10, what would you buy? 

If you had £15, what would you buy? 

If you had £20, what would you buy? 

If you had £50, what would you buy? 

If you had £100, what would you buy? 

If you had £500, what would you buy? 

If you had £1000, what would you buy?

Next I would like you to think about these key questions: 

1. If you saved five (or ten) pounds a week how long would it have taken you to save up for the item you said?
2. Is it worth saving up for things sometimes?
3. Is it easy or hard to save money? 
4. Why/why not?
5. Why are items valued at different prices? 

How do you think people decide the value of an item? Write down some ideas that you have. 

Some ideas might be as follows: 

• How complex it is to produce it
• How many people are involved in producing it - and how much they are paid
• How much machinery, equipment is involved in producing it
• The building where it’s made, including heating, lighting etc.
• The materials it’s made of
• How popular it is
• How rare it is

I want you to imagine that you are raising money for a good cause. You have asked people to donate items for a sale. Use this sheet and decide how much you would price each item for. Write a sentence to say why you have decided on that price. 

Consider the following: 

• What condition the item is in
• How old it is
• Whether it is still a popular item with children
• How big it is
• Whether it is in good working condition if mechanical in some way

When you have finished, imagine that you have £5. Which of the items from the list would you buy?
