WALT: Use sentence structure for effect.

 

We have discussed the use of short sentences for effect in suspense writing. The first thing that I would like you to do is re-read TheNightmare Man. Highlight the short sentences and have a think about the impact that they have. Why has the author used those sentences? How is the description of the character and atmosphere enhanced through the use of short sentences?

The next thing that I’d like you to do is have a look at the use of ellipses for effect.  

Now that you have seen how an author uses these devices, it’s your turn to try.

Use the picture here as inspiration – Can you write the scene before this picture as the boy goes under the bridge using the techniques that you have thought about?

 

Guided Reading – Use Reading Plus for 30 minutes.

Spanish Day!

Today is languages day in school. We are going to having a look at Spanish – It's really hard to give you exactly what we're doing in school because of the nature of languages. So in order to give you the closest thing to real life pracitse, here's a lesson from Oak Academy that is about introducing yourself.

Then there is a great website here. Can you make your own factfile about Spain? 

The rest of the afternoon will be spent in an assembly run by children from Dean Close.

I hope that you have a good day! 

Mr Hayden
