Homework Week 6
Maths: Remember to learn your times tables and to see me in the morning to
test you. It is always a good idea to practise them in reverse too (i.e. division)
There is also an activity sheet for you to complete which will help you to revise
concepts learnt in class.
Reading: Select an activity from the reading contract and do this in your
homework books. Remember that the standard you complete it at should be
close to the standard that you would be showing in class, in other words, a very
high one. Take your time to ensure it is your best work.
100 Word Challenge: Using the idea: ‘the forest .’ you will create a piece of
text that cannot exceed 100 words. Try using powerful imagery and word
choice, making it as exciting and interesting as you possibly can. The only
limitation is your imagination!
You are more than welcome to share your writing on our blog
www.ta15ybps.blogspot.com.au I am sure it is not just me that would love to
read your creative and wonderful ideas!
Some examples from students your age:
I gazed at the rain drops cascading down the
pine trees that were swaying in the darkness.
The forest seemed alive as I crept though the
haunted area. I have heard about the horrid
stories about children going missing in this
part. My stomach churned inside my body,
my heart pounded inside my chest,
threatening to come out. Would I make it out
alive, or would I die alone? Time was of the
essence. I turned, but by making that split
decision I saw something that made my skin
break into a sweat. I clenched my fists.
The forest seemed alive as I dived into its depths, looking for a suitable place
to hide. I was running. Why was I running? They’ll never find me here. I gazed
up into the canopy of foliage. Was it just me, or had it got darker? And colder,
too? A chill ran down my spine. They’d never find me. I’d be alone forever:
wandering, searching for someone to talk to. Then I heard it. It was soft at
first, but then it crescendoed, like a dramatic piece of music in a Shakespeare
play: the screams. The screams of my mother.
Try and use the toolkit below to ensure your writing has the following
elements. These elements will improve the calibre of your writing, making it
more interesting and descriptive. You may even like to check some of them off
as you include them. Good luck!
