Week 4

ENGLISH

Writing Task 1:

Over the past week, we have looked at the first chapters of Trash. We have been introduced to the characters which you have written descriptions about. Within the story, these characters have been placed within a setting. Within the text, there is lots of description of this setting. Using the chapters you have already read, find the description of the setting and highlight or make notes of the description you have found. Once you have done this, write a setting description for the character in the video below. There are a few different settings within the video for you to choose from. Following this, use the setting description checklist to edit your work.

Reading and Writing Task 2:

For the outcome to reading Trash, we would like you to be able to write a diary extract written from the perspective of Raphael. To be able to do this, we need to know what a diary extract entails. What structures do they have? Using the diary entries below, read them and think about the language that is being used. Is it formal or informal? What do you learn about the author? What sentence structures do they have? What sentences do you like and why? Once you have read the extracts, write a list of all the features that they have in common.

Spelling and Grammar Task 2:

Following on from the work we did last week on relative clauses, we are going to continue to look at them. Think about where the relative clause can go in a sentence and where the relative pronoun can be placed.

Writing Task 3:

On Wednesday, you were asked to look at a collection of diary extracts to begin to think about writing your own.

What did you find? What structures were the same across all of the texts you read?

Were they formal or informal? What did you learn about the author? What sentences would you have magpied?

Your task today is to plan and write your own diary extract. Using the planning tool, plan what you want to happen and feelings you may have.

Think about what happened to Raphael and what might happen in the day in the life?

If you wanted to change the topic of your diary, you may want to write about what is happening in your life right now? What would you write in your diary? How are you feeling?

Don’t forget to share your diary extracts on the website.

TOPIC

Topic Task 1:

History thumbnail_pastedImagefile As part of our topic, we would like you to research a particular civilisation and its trading, to find out what types of products would have been available to its population. Try to think about things like: food, metals, fabrics, pottery and other luxuries (spices, perfumes, paper and so on). For example, the Vikings would often travel to the middle eastern countries to trade items in return for spices! Some civilisations you could look at include: The Vikings The Romans Britain and The East India Trading company The Egyptians The Mayans China (especially the Tang Dynasty) Present your findings using a spider diagram or poster and feel free to add lots of pictures/drawings of what was traded!

Extra: Using the grid below, complete any of the activities if you find you need a little extra to do. Overall

Topic Task 2: topic 2 On Monday you were asked to research a civilisation to see what they used to trade, today we would like you to find products that we import and export here in the UK today! If a product is ‘EXported’ it means we made/grew it here and we are sending it to other countries. If a product is ‘IMported’ it means it was made/grown in another country and it has been sent/shipped to us. Challenge: See if you can find 10 things we import and 10 things we export – you could put your findings in to a table like this one…

Bonus question! How many of the imported and exported products do you have in your home?

Topic Task 3:

Art – Afewerk Tekle

For your topic this week, we would like you to research the artist Afewerk Tekle. Have a look at the different pieces he has painted, which one is your favourite?

What do you notice about it? What do you like about it?

For example, this piece above is called ‘See, Hear, Say No Evil’. I really like the way he has used different shades of blue and purple for the sky and how he has used the straight lines to separate these shades with them centering around the sun like a spiral. It is also quite a colourful painting which makes it attention grabbing. If I were to recreate this painting I would first draw the image of the people and the mountains and then I would draw the lines over the top (using a ruler) to split it into sections.

Next week you will be asked to recreate the painting you choose so try to pick one you really like and look at it very carefully!

Have fun!
