Week 1 Monday Comprehension 1/Spoken Language 1

Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir,

I wish to draw your attention to a problem which must be dealt with. As a local citizen and park volunteer, I must urge that the council ban ball games in the park. There are three main reasons why this has to done.

The first and most important reason is the damage caused by ball games. Our delicate blooms and fragile flowers are squashed and broken every time a large, heavy ball is sent blasting through the flowerbeds. These rough games encourage thoughtless youths to skid and slide across our carefully tended lawns, leaving deep gouges like scars. Perhaps thousands of pounds of damage is caused by this violent pastime. How much more money will be wasted before good sense wins?

My second point refers to the risks to people and animals caused by aggressive ballgames. The park is used daily by many families with young children and older people who may be unsteady on their feet. It is clear that balls crossing paths like bullets may cause painful injuries to those innocently passing by. What about our precious wildlife? Our park should be a safe haven for the curious squirrels and charming pigeons that live peacefully in the trees. How can we explain to them that the ball that smashed through a nest was only meant to be a bit of fun?

My last point is that ballgames are pushing out the activities that everyone should be able to enjoy, like picnics, peaceful walks and sunbathing. It is not safe to sit or lie anywhere in the park because of the threat of speeding footballs and tennis balls.

To sum up, ballgames must go. Some people might say that I am spoiling everyone's fun by demanding an end to ballgames. However, it is the ballgames that are spoiling the fun. It is the ballgames that are spoiling the park.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Daisy Green

Sofia the First Magical Talking Castle

Sofia’s adventure begins in her new

enchanting castle, and this two-story play

set will let girls and boys play out all the

fairy-tale fun. Plus, special interactive

features can really bring the kingdom of

Enchancia to life. Adorable phrases will add

to the excitement. Place Sofia or Clover the

rabbit on the castle’s 'magic' base to hear

10+ phrases said in each character's voice.

But that is just the beginning. You can

expand the enchanted play by collecting

additional three-inch dolls and figures from

the world of Sofia the First (each sold

separately), and girls and boys can unlock

over 35 additional phrases.

Welcome to the most regal home. Enter through the ornate purple doors that can swing open and

closed. Inside the castle, Sofia can lounge on her royal chair in the living area, enjoy dining and

dancing in the ballroom, and can even slide down the grand staircase — the doll can easily clip to the

banister. Upstairs, Sofia can host a slumber party in her grand princess bedroom or play hide-and-

seek with Clover the rabbit in his cosy window seat. Having a gorgeous garden for more play, you can

extend the castle’s bottom level to reveal a lovely “grassy” area. Sofia can enjoy the view of the

gardens while standing on the balcony — or can have a day of outdoor fun on the castle grounds. The

garden is a perfect spot for a picnic with Clover the rabbit. Girls and boys will love imagining more

adventures and lessons for this adorable princess-in-training.

BBC News Report

Apostrophe ban on Devon council's new street names

The apostrophe is being banned from street names in parts of Devon to "avoid potential confusion".

Mid Devon District Council said its new streets had not contained apostrophes for many years, but the policy was now being made official.Andrew Lacey, from the council, said there was "no national guidance that stops apostrophes being used".

But proof-reader Mary de Vere Taylor from Ashburton said the thought of apostrophes being removed made her ‘shudder’. "It's almost as though somebody with a giant eraser is literally trying to erase punctuation from our consciousness," she told BBC News, "with names with no apostrophes where there should be. I shudder to think how I'd react," she added.

HOMEWORK: Use modal verbs to show how likely something is

We have been exploring the way that modal verbs are used to show how likely something is to happen. These verbs are often used in advertising and other persuasive writing.

Your task is to write a persuasive television advertisement: You can invent the product or use one that already exists; Use modal verbs to persuade your listener of the benefits of buying the product and the

risks/disadvantages of not buying it; Use modal verbs to make opinions seem fact; and You can write your advertisement as a piece of prose or as a script - depending on how you

decide to structure it.

Two Famous Speeches

John F. Kennedy - The Decision to go the Moon 1961 (President of USA in 1960s)

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Barack Obama - Victory speech 2008 (President of USA)

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.

And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

Three Famous Speeches

Winston Churchill - We shall fight on the beaches 1940 (Prime minster of Britain during WWII)

…we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Elizabeth I - Speech to the Troops 1588 (Queen of England during Tudor times)

I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too. I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.

William Lyon Phelps - The Pleasure of Books 1933(American speaker and university lecturer)

A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly. And then, some day, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it.

Adapting Song Lyrics for a New Purpose

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his sideYesterday’s papers telling yesterday’s news

So how can you tell me you’re lonelyAnd say for you that the sun don’t shineLet me take you by the handAnd lead you through the streets of LondonI’ll show you somethingTo make you change your mind.

Extract from 'Streets of London' By Ralph McTell (1969)

Adapting Song Lyrics for a New Purpose 2

Come gather ’round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You’ll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin’

Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin’

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don’t criticize

What you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin’

Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin’

Extract from The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan (1963)

Research FactsChildren’s wellbeing: Public Health England report’s findings

Increased TV viewing

Increased screen time and exposure to media (such as bedroom TVs) is consistently associated with reduced feelings of social acceptance, and increased feelings of loneliness, conduct problems and aggression.

Physical activity

Associated with improved concentration levels, more positive social behaviour, such as being kind to class mates and attempting to resolve disputes, and children feeling liked by peers and that they have enough friends.

Diet

Eating breakfast compared to skipping it, has a positive impact on short-term cognition and memory.

Video games

Children who spend more time on computers and playing video games tend to experience higher levels of emotional distress, anxiety and depression.

Improve your writing

Part 1

On your own:

Reread your writing. Ask yourself:

Have I finished?Does it all make sense?Is my punctuation, grammar and spelling accurate? V. important at this stageIs my writing organised into paragraphs?Have I written an introduction and conclusion?Does all of the writing persuade the reader of my argument?

If YES: go onto part 2,If NO: edit until you can say YES to each question

Part 2

With a writing partner:

Take turns to read your writing to your partner (reading aloud will help you evaluate your writing more effectively).

Work your way through this guide to improve your writing. For each section discuss ideas with your partner and make changes. You don't have to always agree with your partner but listen to their ideas before you decide how to edit and improve.

[I am designed to be folded down the middle to fit next to a page or sheet of paper]

a) Improving the flow (cohesion) = signposts & language of argumentCheck that you have guided your reader with signposts My first argument...The second point...Most importantly...To sum up...Check that you have used conjunctions and adverbs to link your ideas in a paragraph...because... although... Unless... Therefore... Furthermore... however... First,…

b) Super charge your language choice = synonyms, word play, modal verbs Use a thesaurus to pick words that push your pointChildren slob/relax on the sofa...children can play independently/wildly...Use alliteration, repetition or imagery to draw attention to important words essential exercise...fundamental friendships...time to listen, time to change..restricted like battery hens...Make your way seem the only way with modal verbsParents must listen...things will change...children ought to have choice...

c) Other tricks = rhetorical questions, daring the reader to disagree, opinion as factTry ending a point with a questionIsn't it through being able to choose that children will learn the most?Dare your reader to disagree with you!Any sensible person can see that...It is obvious that...Clearly...Turn your opinions into factThe truth is...The fact is...

Now read the whole piece to yourself. What impact have your improvements made?

Learning objectives: use full stops, commas, exclamation marks, speech marks and question marks to punctuate sentences

correctly; and use a thesaurus.

Read this bland, repetitive piece of persuasive writing. Look for errors in punctuation. Correct them using the rules you have learnt in school. Identify words which need more impact and use a thesaurus to edit to improve them, either by swapping or adding new words. Reread and consider the effect your improvements have made.

Children need PetsChildren need pets and today i will be explaining why this is good.

My most important point is that pets give company and friendship. Who hasnt had a bad day and needed to hug a nice cat or a nice dog. Research has proved that pets reduce stress and make people feel good. Dont sad children deserve this.

My second point is that looking after a pet teaches children to be responsible. Remembering to give food and water to a nice hamster or a nice rabbit helps children to think about others shouldnt all children have a chance to learn how to care for a pet.

My final point is that some pets help children be more active. Recent research has shown that half of all 7 year olds dont get enough exercise. It is clear that walking an active dog twice a day might make a child more active even playing with a smaller pet like a guinea pig or gerbil stops children from watching television or playing computer games. the health of our children is the health of our future.

To sum up i have shown three good reasons why all children should have a pet. Pets are good for childrens physical and mental health and teach responsibility.
