Week of Jan 18th Tuesday comprehension worksheet
Sentence Stacking - Friday 7th January
It will be of no surprise that I picked a little bit of Jane (Mrs Considine)
for the Friday Sentence Stacking Lessons.
You have done these a few times now and so you should be able to work through the lesson without too much support.
You may have used the film before - it has become a bit of a classic. It ties in beautifully with the War Horse work and the World War II topic. You can find it at the bottom of this page. You might want to watch it first but you can keep coming back to it.
Please watch Jane's introduction, which can be found here.
Unlike a normal lesson, I would like you to have a go at writing about the whole film. You can start with individual chunks and then try and build a story.
The Choose your Chunk sheet can be found below or linked here.
Please send the completed stories to our class email. They can be typed, photographed or scanned. I just look forward to reading them.
If you've read all the way to the end first then you might get some ideas for when the 'country' completed this writing in March. You can listen to it here.
