This week the children in Class 6 have to complete their first piece of 'Talk Homework'. This is a chance for children to discuss with their family their ideas for their written piece of work. Ideally, this should be done at a quiet time of the day when it you can all sit down together and discuss the given topic. The more talk the better! The more confident talkers the children become the better their writing becomes.
This week the children have to discuss some well known nursery rhymes. Yes, nursery rhymes! They need to decide upon their favourite nursery rhyme and then discuss how this could be adapted for a newspaper article. This has been the genre that we have been studying over the last fortnight. Some of these questions may help your talk:
* Who are the main characters?
*What happens?
*Who could be the eye witnesses in the article?
*Where did it happen?
*Why did it happen?
*Who was involved?
*When did it happen?
*What are the facts?
*What would be a catchy headline for the article?
*What WOW words could I include?
All they need to do is TALK about the above. They may make short notes if they want to but this is not essential. This should be done by Monday 29th November as the children will be writing their newspaper articles during this week.
Thanks for your continued support.
