Hi all,
I'm writing this after what I hope was a not-too depressing lesson looking at Cormac McCarthy's frankly terrifying novel The Road. Hopefully, you will have understood and internalised a set of success criteria for this type of writing, and learnt some ways in which writers can make their settings vivid and engaging for the reader.
Your performance in the lesson was exceptional. Some of the points you made were really pushing at the upper limits of GCSE, showing real flair and originality - well done all, and well done for the superb levels of application, effort and engagement you displayed. Where are OFSTED when you need them?!
For homework, I'd like you to complete the piece of writing you started this lesson. The task is to write a description of somewhere you know well, describing the changes which occur through dusk and into night.
This should be given in during our first lesson back after your Work Experience.
Have a wonderful hols and WE; you have been, as ever, a fabulous class to work with. I'll have your Year 1o exams ready for when you get back.
Mr Boulter
