7. How is a typical school day structured in your new
school (timetable)? Do the weeks vary (e.g. Week

expectations around ‘out of school’ study (i.e.
homework)? If so, how do you access your
homework – is there a specific platform to use?

19. Summarise the chapter you’ve just read using a
minumum of 5 sentences and a maximum of 10.
Summarising text succinctly (i.e. brief but with all
the important details) is a very useful skill yet
tricky to master. It will support with sequencing
text and understanding order of events. PRO TIP:
Imagine it’s a Twitter post which limits your
characters (now a generous 280).
Chapter 2 Summary Task
Miss Huang’s version is on the
next page – no peeking!
20. • Simon eavesdrops on a conversation outside
staffroom
• Dr Feltham and Mr Cartright ‘argue’
• Simon misunderstands the project: thinks they will
kick the FBs to bits/ Glorious Explosion
• 4C sabotages Mr Cartright’s attempt to change the
topic
FYI – 241 characters (including spaces and punctuation!)
How did you do? Were you able to use fewer
sentences/words/characters yet retain all of the
important information? Did you include any details
that whilst interesting, were not really necessary to
understand the key events?
