I wanted to thank all of you for your hard work this term on Stone cold. You have approached this novel with interest and participated in all the acitivities with commitment and energy. I have been most impressed by the way you have developed in independent and group learning skills. Some of the work you have produced on the novel has been of a high standard.
The revision booklet on the characters was very good - try and learn from each other and also think about how many points you wrote down - keep the categories in your mind and always refer to the text for evidence. PEE is the key here.
Remember our READING agreement -
'There is no difference between those who can not read and those who do not read.'
Reading is the 'GOLDEN TICKET' to success in all subjects. It improves your vocabualry, your spelling / punctuation and extends your knowledge.
Over half-term, your homework is to read AT LEAST 10 MINUTES EVERYDAY. It does not matter what you choose to read but you need to be varied in selection. So have a variety of non-fiction and fiction. Also, go to the library or bookshop and see if you can find a book on a subject / topic that interests you. Remember, if you are interested in a subjectr, someone will have written about it!!! Find it and get reading.
First lesson back after half term, I will expect you all to report back on what you have read .... and also respond to this blog!!!!
