Wednesday 4 August

Hi
Once again I have been called in. A list of what you need to do.

  • Maths - Mr Woody has some work sheets for you - these need to be completed and glued in your maths book. Use some equipment to help you solve.
  • Japanese - Mr Woody is taking this and will let me know how you are all working - some of you better be changing your attitudes in class from what I hear!
  • Author Study - choose one of the following authors and find out the following and present it in an interesting/exciting way using what ever you want. This turns into homework to be completed by next Friday. Use this time in class to get a head start.
  1. History of author - e.g. where they were born? School? Study? Family? Why they started writing? etc
  2. Influences on their writing.
  3. Books they have written, series of books?
  4. Genre they write in?
  5. Illustrator or just author?
  6. Anything that may be interesting?
  7. A range of questions you would ask them if you met them.
Possible authors:
  • Margaret Mahy
  • Joy Cowley
  • Maurice Gee
  • JK Rowling
  • Maurice Gleitzman
  • Roald Dahl
And remember - if you have not finished the other tasks you have a lot of work to do so don't waste your time!
