Your literacy task for this week focuses on devices that the author uses to help make their writing more interesting for the reader (that’s you!)  If you are reading something of your own choice at the moment which you are enjoying, and you would like to use that for your task instead of the class novel you were given in Term 3, that’s fine with me.   This document can be printed to enable you to do it on the sheet, or alternatively you could type your answers onto a blank word document or just write it in your jotter/notebook.  Don’t forget to spend some time this week reading your novel too. It is important as it builds your reading stamina which is the length of time you can read without losing concentration.  The greater your reading stamina, the longer you can read and the more enjoyment you will gain from reading.  This is because it gives you a chance to really get ‘into’ the book.

Also check out this lesson about writing a newspaper report.  It has two videos and three follow up activities for you to try.

Maths
This lesson about forming and solving one step equations includes a learning summary, one video, one worksheet with answers and an interactive activity.
