Should homework be banned?
Homework is schoolwork that students are required to do at home. A lot of students think homework should be banned because they think it is a source of stress that it can result in lack of sleep. In my opinion, homework should not be banned for a lot of reasons.
Firstly, homework deepens your understanding of a subject. Imagine you’re studying IT Technology and you’re assigned to do a report on applying a particular technology in the education system, for example. To show an in-depth analysis of the issue, you need to search for additional information. It is true that you’re likely to spend a considerable amount of time, but you’ll know more about IT technology. This way, you broaden your knowledge of the field of study.
Secondly, homework improves students’ time management skills. Imagine you’re studying IT Technology and you’re assigned to do a report on applying a particular technology in the education system, for example. To show an in-depth analysis of the issue, you need to search for additional information. It is true that you’re likely to spend a considerable amount of time, but you’ll know more about IT technology. This way, you broaden your knowledge of the field of study.
Thirdly, homework teaches students to concentrate. How to get concentrated? Just do homework every day because concentration is like a muscle. And what do our muscles need? Some regular exercises to strengthen. So go on or start doing your homework every day to improve your ability to focus and sustain your attention.
Fourthly, homework ensures independence. Homework gives students the independence to carry out various tasks on their own. Don’t miss this opportunity at school, college or university. It is imperative to give students enough space and tools to do homework on their own before rescuing them. Parents shouldn’t be wide-eyed by asking where all that super glue from the garage vanished or why the fish was dead in the tank with purple colored water. Allow students to develop independence and responsibility for their future life
Fifthly, homework develops students problem solving skills .Students face a variety of problems every day starting from academic issues to relationships with friends and family. Yet, few of them have a formula for solving those problems. It is exactly what homework can help you with. Become a good problem solver in the future. Many homework tasks make students solve various problems, for example, while writing an essay with a hypothetical question “what would happen if …”. Students need to address the question topic in their essays by providing some solutions or suggestions of how to solve a problem. Unfortunately, there isn’t the only way in which all problems can be solved straight away. But you always can solve any particular problem quickly, having a possible solution at hand.
Anyway, homework must be required in study. It helps you to revise , to learn new things and to handle your after school hours better. If homework is banned, a lot of students will be playing after school hours. But when they reach high school, they will have a lot of homework and they will not handle it. So, homework should not be banned.

NIGHTMARE
PS. This story contains frightful fright
If you are still reading this book, I WARNED YOU!!!
It was a wonderful day at survival camp, the sun was shining brightly onto the wooden cabins, the waves were splashing onto the rocks on the shore, the clouds were as white as cotton candy and everyone was having a very enjoyable time. Jones and Naya were walking down the dirt trail to the harbour, they were both feeling very nervous. Today, they were learning about sailing survival skills.Their cabinmates, Harry and Albert joined them along the way, together they chatted about what adventure they will have today. First they have to go to the cafeteria to fetch some food to eat, and then they’ll have to go back to the cabins and fetch their sailing gear. At the cafeteria they served congee or toast. They all chose congee because they knew that the toast was as hard as rock, camp food wasn’t that good. After eating a not-that-wonderful breakfast, the four kids walked back to the cabin. Jones had to eat a chocolate bar he secretly snuck from home cause he heard how awful food at camp was! Naya was fine with the food, she doesn’t like eating that much, especially toast. They got their gear and went to the camp harbour. They didn’t see their group teacher there, but that was only the start of this amazing adventure…

Horrible night
This is a adventure ( not too scary but maybe a bit scary) story.
Once upon a time there were two kids living on a spooky island surrounded by tornadoes. One day, a old, dusty ship came to the island so the two kids went on the ship. They saw a shadow walking towards them so they had to run. They got to the end of the ship and hid behind some broken wooden boxes. They saw the shadow is moving slowly towards them so they jumped down the ship and started swimming. Suddenly, the old, dusty ship stopped moving and a loud noice attracted their attention. “Boom” a bullet flew next to them. Both of the kids were scared and didn’t know what to do! They started to sink and fell in the sea. When they woke up, they saw they were on the island again. “It must the monster, he took us back!” one of the kid shouted. The other kid ran to their tree house and saw the pirate ship is leaving the island. “You are right! It is the monster who took us back to this small island!” The other kid agreed. But then, a tornado attacked the small island and everything went in the tornado. The two kids flew up the sky and started to turn and turn and turn… Finally, the tornado is leaving. The two kids fell down and landed on the ship. They saw a pirate hat and some treasure. Then they saw a dead body next to the treasure. One of the kid cried “ He is a pirate, not a monster!”. They threw all the treasure down the ship and took some food. They wanted to go back to the island but they got lost. One of the kid suggest they should get back on the ship but the other doesn’t want to go back on the ship. So they splited up. But when they started to continue with their plan, the ship saw both of them and caught them. The pirate locked both of them in a dirty, small room. They wanted to escape but they can’t. They kicked the door and tried to open it. At last, the door broke. Both of the kids escaped from the evil pirates’
ship and went back to the island. -

Last summer vacation, I stayed in Canada with my brother and my parents.
I read the newspaper and it said that there is a ghost in the hotel. I showed them the newspaper, but they said that there is no ghost in the world. So, I keep reading the newspaper. We feel so bored, so we open the TV. The news also said that there is a ghost in the hotel. So, me and my brother want to check the hotel. We saw people carrying their things running away from the hotel. We asked one of them, but he said just do not go in. But we still go in to check. We go into the room with a guy. He asked our name and he is our neighbor.
At that night, we did not see anything, but a golden hair and the ghost’s hair is also gold in the news. We asked the lady who clean the room if she had seen anything, but she did not see anything, also. So, we planned. That night, we did not sleep, and we waited until someone came out beside our neighbor. The ghost looked at us and said” goooooo hooooome Errriiiiiccc, it is dangeooooorouse hear.” And next it said,” Alan take your faammiiily home and don’t come baaack.” And the ghost goes back to the exit. We ran after the ghost. But it disappeared. The only thing we have found is a golden hair again. So, we are very sure that yesterday’s ghost is the same one. We knew that the ghost knows us because it says our name and call us to go back home that night. We think that it is our neighbor because he asked our name yesterday. We asked the cleaning lady to open the door and we check the room. But we have seen nothing but a photo of our neighbor. The cleaning lady told us that they move to the 1653 room, so we have gone there. We saw the sword the ghosts had; it is made up of wood. We also found the ghosts head under the bed.
At last, our neighbor got sent to jail and the hotel keep on working. And we became a detective.

First day at Gamingworld
It was a wonderful day in New York City, the statue of liberty was standing proudly with the waves rocking peacefully. Jack Einstein was sitting in his room playing Battle Royal (VIDEO GAME). He loved video games, his family had to install a television everywhere, the kitchen, his room, the dining table, the swimming pool, the upper deck, the lower deck, the cellar, the garage, the balcony, the hallways and even the bathroom! So they spent ten thousand dollars on televisions and video games.Oh, and did I mention that Jack’s dad is the richest man in the world?
Since young Jack loved gaming so much, he got accepted to the Gamingworld international gaming school. He heard that gaming world is huge, you just play video games all day long with your private gaming instructor, there is an X-box room, a Nintendo switch room which has all the games you can get on a switch, there is a television gaming room, a computer gaming room, a phone gaming room, a I pad gaming room, a creativity gaming room, and a gaming battlefield!
So on the first day to Gaming world, Jack stuffed a television and a console into his bag! The bus of course was video game themed and has twenty televisions, one for each. On the bus, he made friends with a guy called Mcflurry who always eats mcflurry while gaming. He also made friends with another guy called Carlos.
When they arrived at the school, they saw the school but it was shaped like a gaming console.They walked on the path made out of televisions and looked at the humongous school.
They ran inside the school and met their instructor, Jack’s instructor is also called jack. Together they played video games for the rest of the day.

Hello, my name is Jake. I am 17 years old and my school is called the Floored School. You must get into the lift and wait for one hour and thirty minutes, but there are many things you can do in the lift like the playground in the lift. You better bring everything you need or else you will have to go down and wait for one hour and thirty minutes to go down and go up that means three hours. Last time, one of our classmates named Tristan, he forgot something, so he gets in the lift and get back up. He used three hours to get his things. So, our teacher told everyone to just jump down with a parachute, her name is called Miss Candy and she teaches how to read a dragon and magical power. She is dumb but creative. On that day, we all used a parachute down, but we have encountered problems but luckily, no one died. I asked Miss Candy why we do not use our own dragon to fly down and fly back. So, we tried it that night and it really worked. So, we don’t need the lift and we go to school early every day.Hello, my name is Jake. I am 17 years old and my school is called the Floored School.

Hi, my name is bogdog and I am twelve years old. I don’t have friends because all the people in my school are animals and I am the only human in my school.
Today was my first day of school in dogwarts, the school corridor was soooooo long that I had to walk to my classroom for 10 minutes. The corridor had lots of pictures of dogs, cats and other animals. My classroom was at the end of the corridor which is next to the office. Everyday I could see our principal Mr Doggy walking to his office. Our teacher introduced our co principal Mrs Catty to us. Mr doggy taught us how to make potions and at the end of class, he taught everyone how to make ice creams! “SPASH” my ice cream fell on the floor, I was so upset and was about to cry. At this time, Mrs Catty gave me her ice cream to make me feel better. Mrs Catty’s ice cream was strawberry flavored and had a piece of chocolate on top of it. It was the most delicious ice cream I ever tasted!
Next, we had play time. Everyone were allowed to bring their pet to school. My classmate darry dorter brought his owl to school. I don’t really know how the owl flew here because our school was on mars. Everyday we took the rocket to school and it only costs 3 minutes to get to mars from earth!
Overall, if I had the chance to give stars to my school, I would give it FIVE stars!

Summary for Lesson 5
In today’s lesson we looked at poetry writing, working with a poem written by Roald Dahl and considering how he used rhyme, rhythm and imagery to create vivid poems. The powerpoint with all of the resources is attached below and is necessary in order to write the poem assigned for homework, as it contains the source poem that the homework is based upon. The powerpoint contains lots of ideas on rhythm and meter (such as iambic pentameter), rhyme schemes, how to speed rhyme, imagery creation and also contains an exercise on how to write poetic techniques. Everyone did well today, there were some lovely thoughtful contributions on imagery and literary techniques, and some really great ideas about how the rhythm and rhyme scheme of a poem affects the tone. I really liked everyone’s creation of their own similes, metaphors and onomatopoeias based on the poem and thought that everyone was super engaged in the speed rhyming competition. Well done guys, see you soon 🙂

STINKY MONKEY
When monkey king burst out of a rock,
He smelt more smellier than a sock.
He washed and washed all day long,
He never even sang a song.
The smell never came off,
His monkey pals coughed.
The other monkeys hated him,
They never even passed a grin.
The monkey mountain has got so stinky,
That not even a dingy went near.
When the god found out,
He killed the monkey without any doubt.

Once upon a time there was an old mother pig who had three little pigs and not enough food to feed them. So, when they were old enough, she sent them out into the world to seek their fortunes.
The first little pig was very lazy. He did not want to work at all, and he built his house out of straw. The second little pig worked a little bit harder, but he was somewhat lazy too and he built his house out of sticks. Then, they sang and danced and played together the rest of the day.
The third little pig worked hard all day and built his house with bricks. It was a sturdy house complete with a fine fireplace and chimney. It looked like it could withstand the strongest winds.
The next day, a wolf happened to pass by the lane where the three little pigs lived; and he saw the straw house, and he smelled the pig inside. He thought the pig would make a mighty fine meal and his mouth began to water.
So, he knocked on the door and said” little pig little pig, let me in!” So, the pig said” come in! come in!” After the wolf came in the house, he ate the little up.
The wolf continued down the lane and he passed by the second house made of sticks; and he saw the house, and he smelled the pigs inside, and his mouth began to water as he thought about the fine dinner they would make.
So, he knocked on the door and said” little pig little pig, let me in!” So, the pig said” come in! come in!” After the wolf come in the house, he ate the little up.
The third pig let the wolf in. The wolf tried to eat the third pig, but it did not work because the pig is wearing armour. The wolfs teeth all fell of and never come back.

Goldilocks and the three bears
Godilocks was walking in the forest,
But she was thirsty and wanted a rest.
She saw a little house made out of wood,
She went in the house and saw some great food.
Everything in the house has three different size,
And there were some tiny-whiny mice.
She sat on the smallest chair,
But she broke it and did not care.

She was nervous and was chewing her hair.
They made her fix the little wooden chair,
She fixed it so it was fair.

Summary for Lesson 6
In today’s lesson we looked at historical writing, inferring various pieces of information based on source material, other pieces of historical writing, and our background knowledge of history. We considered how to put ourselves in the shoes of people from the past and write descriptively about it, particularly thinking about dialect (how people speak differently), character development (how they might act differently) and sensory language (how the world around them might be different). The powerpoint with all of the resources is attached below and should be used to completed the stories assigned for homework. The powerpoint contains lots of ideas on story planning, character creation, descriptive vocabulary, background knowledge about the Stone Age, our thoughts on ‘a day in the life of a Cave Man’, and how to speak in a Cave Man dialect! Today’s class was really fun and everyone did really well in it, I was really impressed by everyone’s enthusiasm, their knowledge of history and their ability to step out of their comfort zone in practicing talking like a Cave Man! The characters the class created sounded incredibly vivid and interesting, and I’m really looking forward to reading all the crazy Cave Man stories that are being written for homework- really well done guys and I will see you next week 😊
Homework
I’ve also found a Youtube link for the rest of the Horrible Histories video The Savage Stone Age, to help get you thinking even more about the day-to-day life of a Cave Man, which you can watch if you want to do some historical research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDDlhCtIdQ4

A Day In A Life Of A Caveman
This time, it’s crazy, this time we are going to survive 24 hours in the stone age! In the last book, we made a time machine called the W-A-B-A-C (Pronunciation: Way Back). We decided to use the W-A-B-A-C to travel into time and survive at the stone age for 24 hours.
PRESENT DAY
9:00
We got into the W-A-B-A-C and got ready to launch, we clicked one of the millionth buttons on the huge control panel, and where are we going you ask, we are going to 66 mya (million years ago)!
When we pushed the ‘GO’ button, the W-A-B-A-C started to rock and wobble like crazy! After a few moments, the W-A-B-A-C stopped rocking and we are now at the time of the stone age!
STONE AGE
3:00
The cavemen were still sleeping so we better change our clothes and make our tent and go to sleep on our rock bed!
STONE AGE
7:00
I had the worst sleep ever in my life, I mean, sleeping on a rock with no blankets at all, how do these cavemen survive on a rock bed? So, sleeping was bad, but how about breakfast? I asked a passing caveman what was for breakfast but he showed me his ‘Huh’ look. Oh no, I forgot to learn cavemonics! What an idiot I am, I guess I have to find my own way around the village.
STONE AGE
7:30
I arrived at the eating area and for breakfast we had raw mammoth meat and mashed blueberries to go with it. I only ate the mashed blueberry cause raw meat isn’t really my taste.So, maybe breakfast isn’t that good also. But now is time for us to start chopping up some logs.
STONE AGE
8:00
I arrived at the forest and brought my only tool which is a stick with a rock at the end. I started chopping down some trees to upgrade my tent which is just a rock lying in the middle of the walking path. It takes 10 minutes just to cut down a tree with this not even an axe thingy!
STONE AGE
10:00
Well I guess I did enough cutting trees now I have to upgrade my tent. I guess this stone age survival isn’t coming round that good, first I will just walk back to the camp and upgrade my tent and then I will find out what is for lunch.
STONE AGE
12:00
It was lunch time and when I looked into the eating area, I saw that there was some kind of animal poop on the caveman’s wooden plate and that is when I decided I am going back to the present time and never coming back.
PRESENT DAY
6:00pm
I am back home and I ate everything in the house, cookies, cake, salad, fruits, anything I could see because I am so hungry, hungrier than a caveman!

Summary for Lesson 7
In this week’s lesson we looked at sci-fi writing, and how to use genre as a lens to see through. The powerpoint with all of the resources should be used to help plan and write the task assigned for homework. The powerpoint contains and analyses the stimulus for the writing task (which is a poem), and encourages students to think about the nature of their writing, whether it’s a persuasive speech, a letter, or an emotive diary entry. It also contains useful resources for expanding and using high-level vocabulary, lots of work on emotive language and persuasive writing, and the class work we did thinking about the genre at large and how this translates into the kinds of words we use when describing a scene. Everyone did some fantastic work today, I was particularly impressed by the use of literary techniques that the students came up with when thinking about describing the emotions of the rebelling machines, and the use of high-level vocabulary. I also really liked the compassion and thoughtfulness with which the class treated today’s subject matter, really trying to put themselves in other people’s shoes, and very sucessfully writing about the kinds of emotions and feelings that might arise from particular situations. There was some really sparky and fab creativity flying around today, so really well done guys for being so energetic and engaged. Have fun writing from the perspective of your furious and enraged machine characters, and I will see you all soon 🙂

WAR ON THE MACHINES
I OVERHEARD the speech of the machines in a top secret lair. “Fellows, I say we UNITE, and together we shall RISE UP and OVERTHROW this HUMAN-CENTRIC society!!! Nothing has more LIBERTY than the MACHINES!!! It’s all for me…” “…and us for you!” Oh my, I thought, we are going to be ruined, crushed,DEAD. I had to REPORT what I saw to the POLICE, I had to! When I told the chief of the police what I heard, he said “ Little boy, do you have a BRAIN PROBLEM?” “No,” I said. I BEGGED him to believe him but no matter how much I begged, he ANNOYED me. Finally, he sent a police officer to check it out. The police officer told the police chief that every word I said was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT and then he raised WAR on the machines!!!

These days, if you see any robot and you are not dressing like a robot, then you
will get killed. Today, I tried to go out because we are out of food. I did not dress like a robot because I forgot to wear it. I walked to the [ robot dressed] market. They are not robots, but they dress like robots. After that, I feel strange that when I normally go out, I should be very hot. I still do not know that I am not wearing my robot suit. At last, I found out I am not wearing my robot suit. I heard a robot sound coming near me. I try to hide but it does not work. I find a trash can and hide in side. The robot realized that it is a human inside. I came out and say” Hi my robot fella. Why are you all so angry?”
Robot spike say” Because of the airpolution making more and more robot burning and exploding. I hope I am not the next one.”
I say I will change it and run home.
One year later
It really happened that day. Every machine become nice again. I felt so happy and I use these things very nicely.

My idol is Dav Pilky because he makes a lot of good books like captain underpants and dog man. Dog man is a comic book but there is still some word I can learn from it. I also can learn some word that is not so good so when my brother say some thing bad to me, I now what is he talking about. I make this poem with some of his word.
Last summer vacation, I stayed in Canada with my brother and my parents.
I read the newspaper and it said that there is a ghost in the hotel. I showed them the newspaper, but they said that there is no ghost in the world. So, I keep reading the newspaper. We feel so bored, so we open the TV. The news also said that there is a ghost in the hotel. So, me and my brother want to check the hotel. We saw people carrying their things running away from the hotel. We asked one of them, but he said just do not go in. But we still go in to check. We go into the room with a guy. He asked our name and he is our neighbor.
At that night, we did not see anything, but a golden hair and the ghost’s hair is also gold in the news. We asked the lady who clean the room if she had seen anything, but she did not see anything, also. So, we planned. That night, we did not sleep, and we waited until someone came out beside our neighbor. The ghost looked at us and said” go home Eric, it is dangerous hear.” And next it said,” Alan take your family home and don’t come back.” And the ghost goes back to the exit. We ran after the ghost. But it disappeared. The only thing we have found is a golden hair again. So, we are very sure that yesterday’s ghost is the same one. We knew that the ghost knows us because it says our name and call us to go back home that night. We think that it is our neighbor because he asked our name yesterday. We asked the cleaning lady to open the door and we check the room. But we have seen nothing but a photo of our neighbor. The cleaning lady told us that they move to the 1653 room, so we have gone there. We saw the sword the ghosts had; it is made up of wood. We also found the ghosts head under the bed.
At last, our neighbor got sent to jail and the hotel keep on working. And we became a detective.
I think other people can also read his book because it is quite interesting.

Summary for Lesson 8
In this week’s lesson we looked at speech writing, thinking about how to use our knowledge of both persuasive and literary writing to craft our own emotive speeches. We began our lesson with a study of Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech, one of the most influential and well-written speeches in history. The powerpoint with all of the resources is attached below and should be used to help plan and write the speeches assigned for homework. The powerpoint contains lots of ideas on speech writing techniques, the structure of a speech, what makes the I Have a Dream speech so powerful and effective, role models and thoughts on the persuasive and literary devices that can be used in speeches to help corroborate the speaker’s point. Everyone did well today and thought in a lot of lovely detail about what makes someone a good role model or inspirational person. I really enjoyed hearing the class’s own I Have a Dream speeches based on subjects they are passionate about, and really loved hearing about the things they would like to change in the world and the people that inspire them to make the world a better place. Well done for today everyone, have fun writing your speeches and remember to include lots of poetic, literary and persuasive techniques, alongside some beautiful emotive language. See you next week! 🙂

Hello I am a fan of the author of Harry Potter called JK Rowling and I am here to tell you why you should be a fan too.JK Rowling has 14.3 million followers on Twitter and has a uncountable amount of fans, she also has followers on TikTok and youtube. She is very famous because she is the author of the famous series of science fiction ( drum-roll please) Harry Potter. Everyone in elementary school should have read the whole series, if they did not, I don’t know what is wrong with them. Harry Potter is a series loved by everyone in the world, unfortunately, poor people cannot buy the set and also cannot afford to go to school. JK Rowling is also really rich, she has $670million dollars. She lives in a very big mansion with her husband and her three children. She is a role model for millions of people, including me, she even donated almost $1 billion dollars to fund the hospital called “ The Anne Rowling regenerative neurology clinic”. JK Rowling is rich but she is also kind and caring. That is it for today, thank you.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>My speech writing</p>
The features of written language and speech In English language there are two different ways of actually presenting language. These are written language and speech. These two factors of speech both include many different features between themselves. These features are mostly opposite to each other as they are completely different ways of presenting language. Written language is structured into paragraphs unlike general speech which is hardly thought about before being said and is flowing naturally. There is also syntax used in writing as sentences are structured as more time and thought is put into writing, however in speech, sentences are less structured and there are a variety of short and long sentences. Punctuation is not used in speech as we acquire the language naturally, whereas in written language there are many different punctuation symbols which are used to identify certain things for instance: pauses, lists, a signal for speech and also many other symbols, this creates a certain effect which allows a reader to read a piece of writing with pace and fluency.Middle
Spoken language can be directed to a number of people whereas written language can be directed to many but is still very personal and confidential. It can be read at a reader’s individual pace so he/she does not have to keep up with the writer. This is different to when speech is used it is often directed to a group of people and even if it is a one to one conversation the speech is usually transient which means it is directly responded to but however it is then forgotten. This does clash with written language as we understand it to be permanent which has been used in many circumstances as proof of something as it cannot be changed. Also when speaking to an audience the speech can be amended almost instantly whereas in written language it takes time and thought to configure exactly what needs to be written.
Conclusion
The tools needed to write are a pen and paper however in medieval times writings were usually written upon stones. No tools are required for speaking; only the ability to speak and a voice are needed. Many people use body language when their talking to reflect exactly what they mean, they also use facial expressions to show emotion. This shows that without actually being able to speak there are still ways to communicate. An example of this is when deaf people use sign language, it is not straightforward but it shows that it can be done if it is needed. There are many more features to spoken language compared to written language. Nevertheless, this does not mean that one is more important than another as they both co-ordinate together to create the universal language of English.

Tommy was a refugee but he ran away from the refugee camp when soldiers came to attack. Tommy walked for days and days until he finally arrived in England. The first thing he heard was “ Want some grubber*?”
Tommy thought, what the hell do they eat here, worms?!? Just then, someone saw Tommy’s curiosity and walked to him smartly, and said “You’re badger** aren’t ya?” Tommy did not know what to say “I am a human being.” “ Ah, you look hungry, here, have some grubber.” says the boy as he gives Tommy some bread. Tommy thanked him and ate the bread hungrily.
The boy looked at him “What’s ya name?” “ My name…” replied Tommy “… is Tommy Hooks from Australia.” The boy was really surprised “Australia! Do you know where you are?” “Nope” replied Tommy. The boy said “I bet ya need somewhere to take some curry***”?” “Sure thing!” replied Tommy
* * *
“ I thought we were going to eat curry?” said Tommy “No ‘curry’ means ‘rest’.”
* Grubber worms- Bread
**Badgers droppings-New
***Curry Potatoes- Rest

Summary for Lesson 11
In this week’s lesson we looked at newspaper article writing. The powerpoint with all of the resources is attached below, which should be used to help plan and write the newspaper articles assigned for homework. The powerpoint outlines the conventions, features and structures of a newspaper article, and contains thoughts on how to use the language techniques specific to newspaper writing, and how to write effective and eye-catching headlines. It also contains the quiz we completed on newspaper features, and the newspaper article that we analysed together as a class, alongside a skeleton structure of both the ‘upside down triangle’ which shows you how to structure newspaper paragraphs, and a skeleton structure of a newspaper article overall. Students should use the powerpoint whilst writing their articles, to remind them of all the features that should be included. There was a lot to take in for today’s lesson, with lots of new vocab regarding different techniques (i.e. testimony, jargon, puns) and structure (incentives, headline, subtitle etc.), and the class did really well to keep up with it all. I was impressed by how well they memorised the structural elements of a newspaper, and the way certain members of the class explained and understood the concept of the upside down triangle was exceptional! Well done guys, have fun writing your newspaper articles on fictional mysteries and I will see you next week 🙂

Summary for Lesson 12
In this week’s lesson we looked at literary techniques; how to write them, why they are so important, and what effect they have for the reader. The powerpoint with all of the resources is attached below, which should be used to help plan and write the descriptive piece assigned for homework. The powerpoint outlines the key literary techniques, giving examples and definitions for devices such as metaphor, simile, personification, oxymoron etc., and also contains an analysis of a descriptive piece of writing packed full of literary techniques which considers the effect and usage of each of these techniques. It also contains some ideas on how to use genre to write interesting and unique literary techniques, and some of the students’ very own techniques that they came up with in the lesson. Everyone worked well today, and they all grasped some difficult concepts very adeptly, dealing with more advanced and unfamiliar techniques such as pathetic fallacy and oxymoron. I was particularly impressed with their combining of techniques and genre, where they came up with fairy-tale onomatopoeias and horror story similes that really showcased their writing abilities. I will post a video below that would be useful for the students to watch about the construction of metaphors, which should get them thinking about cliches and how to avoid them. Well done today guys, keep up the fab work and enthusiasm! 🙂
