Homework- 17/12/13

Ladies,

In today's lesson we have been preparing to answer the question
Antony Horowitz describes Raven's Gate as a supernatural thriller. 

To what extent do you agree with this description of the novel? 


In tomorrow's lesson you are going to write a minimum of three PEE paragraphs to answer the question. 
In our lesson this afternoon, you have been using the What's it all about? table to prepare. In the middle column, you should have the quotations you are going to use as evidence (one for a character, one for a setting/place and one for a moment/event in the novel). In the far right column- link to the supernatural thriller genre- you should have made notes for the explanation sections of your paragraphs. 


Put together all the information you have in one of the rows of the table to make a PEE paragraph and comment on this post with it. 


Don't be afraid to refer to our checklist of things to include, does your PEE paragraph have all these things: 


¡  Direct quotations from Raven’s Gate used to support ideas or opinions.
¡  Word and sentence level analysis.
¡  Comment on the effect this piece of writing has on the reader.
¡  Use the P.E.E paragraph structure correctly, linking all the sections together smoothly. 

Good luck, 

Mr Brown

Setting Descriptions

In the last two lessons you have been starting to write your descriptions of a scary setting or location and something that you find there.

1) Comment on this post with either your description of the scary setting/location OR the thing you found there.

2) Comment or reply on a post by one of your classmates' pieces of writing with something you liked about it and why. (Can you refer to any of the techniques they have used?)

Due: Monday 9th December 2013


Good Luck, I look forward to reading them.

(Watch out for a post and description from me)
