Materials:

  • Chromebook
  • Paper and Pen/Pencil

  1. Think of a thing that compares each other then add as in the sentence. For an example: She is as lazy as a cat.

Persuasive Speech

We gave our speech to each other.

First, I checked if my speech had a spelling mistake or if it makes sense and then I had to practise saying my speech.

Next, we got into a group of 4 in year groups. We gave our speech to each other and we had to mark from 1 to 4.

Then we need to see who has the highest mark so they could present in front of the class against the other winners.

I enjoyed this activity because I gave a speech that was about Littering. I did well on projecting my voice. I need to improve on giving expressions.

Persuasive Speech

The structure for a Persuasive Speech is OREO. 

O stands for Opinion. Opinion is telling what your idea was about the topic. For an example: Littering is not good because it’s harmful for the environment.

R and E stands for Reason and Explanation. Reason is telling the reason why you thought about that. Explanation is explaining your reason. For an example: Some animals can’t tell if rubbish is food or not, if the animals eat rubbish it would kill them because it blocks their stomach.

O stands for Opinion. Opinion is telling what your idea was about the topic at the end. For an example: If littering continues, the environment would get worse.

Editing Sentences

I completed a writing activity.

First, we played Kahoot for a warm up. We had to name 30 logos.

Next, I had a writing task I had to complete, it was Editing Sentences. I had to read through the sentences so I could spot the mistakes.

Last, I fixed all the mistakes that was in the sentences.

Imaginative Recount

We learnt how to write our own narrative film.

First, we needed to choose 3 different text type, which are: Narrative Planner, Simple Recount Planner, Information Report Planner. My partner and I chose a Simple Recount Planner. We had to think of a topic, our topic was Grandma’s Haunted House. There was 2 main character, they were Lina and the Grandma.

Next, we typed down 3 main events and My partner and I also have to add a conversation. For an example: Lina moved into her Grandma’s house without knowing it’s haunted. Lina said “Hello, Grandma.” Then the Grandma said “Hello sweetie. Did your mum drop you off?” Lina said “Oh yes, she did.” Grandma said “Okay, come in, I’ll give you a tour of my house.” 

Last, we typed down the ending. For an example: At midnight, Lina went to bed while she was sleeping she heard a creepy screaming sound coming from her grandma’s room. She walked in there and saw her grandma with the star circle with candles around. 

I enjoyed this activity because I typed down my own Imaginative Recount. I did well on writing down the events. I need to improve on typing down the ending.

Diagram Labelling

Diagrams show information about how something looks or works.

Diagrams are basic pictures that use labels and arrows to explain objects. Basic pictures or line drawings are used to minimise confusion. The slide below shows a simple tree with four parts. 

Labels are words that are attached on the picture to explain what are the parts of the image. Using arrows are used so the audience knows which part you are talking about. On the three slides it shows the arrow pointing the parts on the image.

Drawings show objects in an aesthetic way.
