Okay. It's been a while. User- and student-generated content seems to be the way forward for this blog to have any chance of being kept up-to-date.
To sum up: we whizzed through visual non-fiction, and attempted to create our own travel documentary for visiting Martians - via mastering the skills of storyboarding, which we had played with before (see below) and audio narration.
So one lesson was spent wandering around the school getting some photos, which we will append some of the narration to soon.
Squeezed in amongst this was some punctuation practice, some looking at implicit / explicit meaning - that's the stuff that's obvious, on the page (explicit), and the stuff that we read into (implicit) - via an examination of BBC travel articles.
Then to cap it all off we tried a practice SAT paper - a year to go, but you can never start preparing too early.
Moreover, a great way to end the term!
