Weasel words - Sort the words into 3 different categories. Positive language words that would attract the customers to buy the product. Negative words that would put the customer off the product and neutral words that have no association at all.

Boastful language - Fill in the gaps using boastful language.

Sequencing the text  - Have a look at another formal way of using persuasive language. The paragraphs in the letter have been jumbled up into the wrong order, have a go at reading it through and reorganising it so that it makes sense.

Language features to find

Once you have found examples of each of the different language features create a poster/toolkit of them all for you to refer back to later on. This does not have to be presented in a particular way, this is just a tool for you to use when doing your writing to remind you of the different persuasive techniques you could use. Here is an example:

Questions

Music

 

You've got a friend - Carole King

Think about these questions while you listen to the music:

How does this song make you feel?

Does the song tell a story?

What does the sing make you think of?

How old is this piece of music?

Can you find the pulse and clap along to the rhythm.

Once you find the pulse, try and add a movement to go with it rather than clapping.

Can you tap your feet to the pulse? Shrug your shoulders? Bend your knees?

Once you've found a movement to go along with the beat, have a go at singing along.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA AND JULIUS!

Today's lesson is our 3rd and final day of internalising the text and creating our text map. 

Keep going back over the parts you have already learnt so that you know them really well, we will be completing this unit once we are all back in school so it's important that we all know the text as well as we can. 

Would love to see some videos of you performing the text!

Art

Have a look through the 6 different tapestries again and decide which one you like best and why. 

Write a little bit about why you have chosen this tapestry, what drew you to it, can you pick out certain objects or feelings? This should be at least a paragraph worth of writing applying our literacy skills to this part of the curriculum. 

Choose a section of your favourite tapestry and have a go at sketching it on a piece of paper. You could zoom in on a particular part and draw it in detail. Remember your sketching skills:

Use shading
Think about the light and dark parts
Think about how to hold your pencil to create a sketching effect
Don't press too hard so that if you make a mistake it is easily rubbed out.

Lesson 2 of imitation - internalising the text. Continue on from yesterday learning the model text through actions and creating a text map. 

Make it as interesting as possible. Remember to keep repeating it throughout the day to really embed the new vocabulary. Look up any words you are unsure of so that you can use them in your own writing.

Have a look at the tapestries created by Grayson Perry.

Write about each one using these stem sentences to help start you off. There are no wrong answers when it comes to interpreting art, it is about what you can see and what it makes you think of.

Remember we have discussed applying our writing skills from Literacy across the curriculum so try to incorporate your vocabulary and punctuation skills here too.

Textiles

Stem sentences:

'I can see...'

Look really carefully into the detail of each of the tapestries and find as much detail as you can. 

'I feel...'

Share your emotional reaction to each of the tapestry

'I think...'

Express your opinions and ideas about each of the tapestries thinking about how and why they were made.

'I wonder...'

Use this sentence stem to pose questions about each of the tapestries thinking of why, who, where and how.

Also try to talk about the different types of people in each of the tapestries, how are classes of people involved?

Once you have had a go at interpreting each of the tapestries have a look at this website to read about the ideas of the artist himself and his ideas for each one.
