English Home learning Monday 27th Apr

Hello everyone,

This week you have the choice between two different tasks to complete.

The first is our usual home learning comprehension tasks. As always there are 3 options to choose from: Orange is the least challenging, Green is a medium challenge and Blue is the most challenging. The work is on a word document so that you can answer straight onto that. If you want you can email completed work to your teachers for marking.

Orange task Monday 27th

Green task Monday 27th

Blue task Monday 27th

 

The other tasks for this week are in the form of video lessons. You will have been sent a letter on how to access the lessons on Google Classroom. You have each been assigned a colour that matches you individual level and your Form tutors will be in touch with you, with your colour. You can log on with the email address provided in the letter, all the classes have been assigned to that one so you just need to choose the colour group you have been given. Or you can create your own google account and use the password for the colour group.  You will be able to leave comments in the groups to ask teachers for help if you need it.

Once on you will see the videos for your group, these videos last anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes and have parts for you to answer questions and mark your own work. All the lessons available follow on from each other nicely, so they feel a  bit more like school lessons. They have been created by fantastic teachers from around the UK!

 

Give the videos a go when you are able to log on, so that you can see which tasks you prefer. Both the comprehension tasks and the videos will be posted weekly for you.

 

Good luck

English: Talk for Writing 1

Hi Everyone,

Here are some writing units for students to work through at their own pace. Any completed written work can be emailed to your English teacher for feedback.

There are three levels of challenge: Orange is the least challenging, green is a medium challenge, and blue is the most challenging. I have posted the orange and green units in their entirety here. The blue unit is a lot more substantial, so I will be posting it as a series of sessions over the next few weeks.
