Thank you all for your homework last week, many of you created some interesting relatives.. Check the blog for some examples of excellent writing. The stand outs for excellent homework presentation were Ahren, Jasmine and Ryan. If you get a chance have a look at their work.
First Person or Third Person
Here are the beginnings to stories that Katherine Mansfield wrote. The first is in third person (where we write ‘he’ or ‘she’). The second is in first person (when we write ‘I’). You choose one of these beginnings and complete the story by saying what was in the letter or why ‘he’ always sits alone. Just choose one to complete.
From ‘the Swing of the Pendulum’:
‘The land lady knocked at the door.
‘Come in,’ said Viola.
‘There is a letter for you,’ said the land lady, ‘a special letter’ – she held the green envelope in a corner of her dingy apron.’
You may complete this story or the next one.
‘Who is he? I said. ‘And why does he sit always alone, with his back to us, too?’
‘Ah!’ whispered…’
You write who is whispering and what this person says about why ‘he sits always alone’. If it’s because he is lonely you must explain why he is lonely. If he is unhappy you need to explain why he is unhappy. Maybe you’ll think of an entirely original reason for him to behave like this.
Times tables focus is 9x. Challenge yourself, go past 12!
Please list your favourite authors this week. We will make a class list to help encourage each other to read different books.
