Unit 3: Are aliens real?
Bob: It’s ten past the hour, I’m Bob Baffle and you’re listening to Tuesday Night Talk. I’ve got Gretel on the line. Gretel?
Gretel: Hi Bob, I had to call, I’ve just seen these lights in the sky ...
Bob: Yes, they’re called stars, Gretel. You’re not going to tell me you think they’re UFOs are you? Do you believe in that crazy aliens and UFO stuff?
Gretel: But they’re still …
Bob: Gretel, Gretel, Gretel, those wacky alien stories are always proven false. They’re from crackpots — no offence, Gretel — who just want attention. There’s no science behind it. Astronauts have never seen aliens. There is no evidence, only rumours and fairytales.
Gretel: But Bob, the lights are still there, they’re low, they’re circling my …
Bob: People see aliens because they want to see aliens. Gretel, never believe something unless it can be proven!
Gretel: Bob! Bob! They’ve landed in my backyard, right next to the clothesline! Gotta go!
Bob: Gretel? Gretel? Well, there goes another loopy one. Must be a full moon tonight. Our next caller …

background information.

Introduce the topic and state your point of view.
Make at least three supporting points and back each one up with evidence.
Summarise your point of view.
An exposition argues for or against something. It has:’s point of view
evidence
for further action.
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Persuasive writing1 Evaluative language uses words which place a value on the topic, eg His argument
was useless. It was completely false! Write three sentences using evaluative language to
persuade your reader that it is unwise to believe that aliens can visit Earth.
2 Emotive language uses words which play on people’s emotions, eg The Aliens
approached the defenceless, terrified people in the deserted farmhouse.
Write three sentences using emotive language to convince your reader to donate to a
charity that protects stray animals.
3 Rhetorical questions ask the reader about something, but they don’t expect an
answer, eg What would any sane person think? The answer is usually obvious.
Rhetorical questions focus attention on a topic. Draw lines to connect the halves of each
rhetorical question.
a What do you must I say this?
b Why would take me for?
c Would you like that who’s counting?
d How many times to happen to you?
e But of yours?
f What business is it someone believe that?
30
4 Modality shows how strongly the writer feels about a topic. High modality language
uses words that show strong feeling and meaning, eg We must study this before more people
are scared. Surely this can’t go on! A writer uses high modality, low modality or a position in
between. Use words from the word bank to convince someone to see your favourite film.
Modal verbs must might should could will may
Modal adverbs surely rarely only definitely clearly
5 Commanding language is very persuasive, eg You have to be more aware!
Give each character some commanding language.
6 Involving language gets the reader to believe he or she is part of a problem or
solution, eg We can all help. We can share the job. Write three sentences which will
get your friends to join you in watching out for aliens.

TANGRAMS 1: EXPLORING TRAPEZIUMS - TUESDAY 5 OCTOBER
1 - Make a tangram:
2 - then you will need:- pencils or markers- your mathematics workbook- a Frayer chart (below)- your tangram pieces.
3 - First, in your exercise book, write down what you think a trapezium is. Try and list properties ofa trapezium as a 2D shape (eg - how many sides? How many angles? Are there any parallellines? etc)
4 - Complete the Frayer chart on the next page
5 - Let's talk about what a trapezium is defined as. A trapezium has this definition. It's aquadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. So if I take a square for example, it actually fitsthe definition of a trapezium.
It's a quadrilateral, meaning it has four angles and four sides and at least one pair is parallel. Asquare is a special kind of trapezium. And yes, that means I could also think a rectangle or anoblong, is also a kind of trapezium.
Your challenge today is to think about how many trapeziums, using the above definition,can you make using two tangram pieces?
So it could be possible that our tangrams look different.
Try the parallelogram and the triangle. That forms a trapezium, doesn't it? What's another way youcould make a trapezium?
Instructions
How many different trapeziums can you make using your tangram pieces? Make a trapeziumusing:
1 - If all the 7 tangram pieces formed into a square has a value of 1 whole, what’s the fraction value ofthe individual pieces?
- The large triangle? (eg ¼ or one quarter)
- The medium triangle
- The parallelogram?
- The square?
- The small triangle?
2 - How can you prove the medium triangle. the parallelogram and the square are all equal in area?And in fact they're all an eighth of our original tangram puzzle.
If the red square is now considered 1 whole, what is the value of each of the other shapes?
