THS Languages

S2 are working on a reading text of thir choice.  This work started last week and is ongoing.  It uses the Active Reading strategies students are familiar with.  All students should ensure they have messaged or emailed their class teacher with the name of the text and the author’s name by Wednesday 10th June.   Much of their time will be spent reading their text !  How lucky is that ?

Students  are reminded they should be reading for enjoyment regularly.  In addition to this we would recommend watching and listening to films, documentaries, dramas etc.  This allows sudents to analyse media texts and deepen their knowledge of this medium.  Asking questions on plot, camera angles, dialogue, setting, character etc can really engage pupils and get them thinking about the craft of creating such a text.

S1 are working on Grammar and Punctuation revision tasks which cover a wide variety of concepts, most of which they have covered before but are well worth revisiting.  In addition to this pupils have reading and language tasks some days to provide variety.

Pupils are reminded they should be reading for enjoyment regularly.   When they finish a book they should message Mrs Burton to have it included in our “Lockdown Reading Challenge.” In addition to this we would recommend watching and listening to films, documentaries, dramas etc.  This allows sudents to analyse media texts and deepen their knowledge of this medium.  Asking questions on plot, camera angles, dialogue, setting, character etc can really engage pupils and get them thinking about the craft of creating such a text.

 

This week pupils will complete a reading comprehension activity. The passage is on the document uploaded by Miss McKenna a few weeks ago and is called “La Historia de Erika”. Please complete the activities and send it to Mr Campbell by the end of the week.

We are also looking at the present tense and the reflective tense this week. Try the first 2 exercises in your grammar booklet about these tenses by the end of the week please. All materials are on glow and Edmodo and please let your teachers know if you have any questions!

Have a good week everyone!

Students are working on a variety of tasks, some reading and some language.  We are using this time to revise language knowledge and techniques which will be helpful as we move forward.

Pupils should send their work to their teacher.

For those who have finised the rearch task we have been working on comparing two sources – well done !  Keep your booklets and materials safe and look after your presentation, we will get them assessed when we return.

If you haven’t finished, don’t panic !  Work steadily doing a little every day until you get the work finished.  Your teacher is there to help you so ask if you need guidance,

We are going to move onto some reading work.  I have posted a “reading Strategies” booklet on the websit and on Edmodo.   Pupils should choose a book they haven’t read before, remember there are free books available on Audible and also “Kindle” if you can’t find anything at home.  Students should try to choose something they are interested in.

The booklet will take students through the reading strategies we would use in class.
