Literacy week 9

The Boy at the Back of the Class Postcards – 5 Get Bookish

Day one:
This week reading is slightly different. Read Chapter 4. Then complete the questions below which focus on inferring what a person might be feeling and why they may have acted in a certain way based on the information in the text and video clips.

Why might Mrs Grimsby feel the way she does?
How does Mr Brown react? Why?
What would you say or do in this situation?
What views could be seen as offensive in chapter 4? How might we deal with them?
What is a refugee? How is that different from a migrant or asylum seeker?
Explore the experiences of refugees through films of their stories – why do people flee their countries? (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bEK6gytwec)
How would it/does it feel to not speak English here?
How could we change Mrs Grimsby’s opinion so that she is more sympathetic? What would you tell her?

Day two:

Understanding word types


Day three:



Day four:

The Importance of Active Voice in Content - Content Marketing ...

Before completing the work below watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1_IRU6zx9g to remind yourself what is the active and passive voice.



Day five:

In chapter 4 we found out that Ahmet was a refugee but we don't know much about his story yet. Refugee coming to the UK each have their own unique story. We would like you to watch the animation of Juliane's story https://www.literacyshed.com/uploads/1/2/5/7/12572836/seeking_refuge__julianes_story_-_video___society___guardian.co.uk_488.mp4at

Using what you have seen in the video and your inference skills as to how she may have been feeling, write three diary entries:
- leaving the orphange
- Meeting her mother again
- first day at school

Remember: diaries are personal so they use chatty yet emotive language.
