Hello

So, here we are...Friday afternoon again! Last push until the weekend....

The aims for today's lessons are:

• to complete an assessment of an exemplar response based on the Lataifa task and to peer assess each others' work in order to really understand what is expected in the text adaptation task and the commentary
• to understand the key linguistic and stylistic features of travel writing

TASK 1:

Read through the exemplar student response based on a speech aimed at an audience of young people. How good is the response? Complete the table here to evidence your response. What mark would you give it?

Do the same for the commentary.

Extension: Read the examiner's report here for some extra guidance on commentary writing.

TASK 2:

Now peer assess someone else's work. You need to sway your work via email. Use the table and email the feedback back to your partner.

TASK 3: 

Read through the slides on the features of travel writing.

Now, annotate each example of travel writing here, highlighting the key linguistic and stylistic features based on your understanding of the genre.

EXTENSION / HOMEWORK:

Use any time left to complete any summaries of stories we have used so far for the text adaptation tasks:

A Co-op Building

Waiting for Juan

Aloft in Paris

Barefoot at Shanzu

Lataifa

These summary sheets must be completed by the end of next week.

The next story we will use is The Year Bruentto Il Piccollo Fell in Love

Have a really great weekend but only if you don't owe me any work!!!
