LO: To write a diary entry.
You did all the ground work yesterday in planning your diary entry as Lina, on the day that she found out she was going to leave for America. Today, I’d like you to read through your plan and think about where you could add those cohesive devices. cohesive devices you looked at.
This is a reminder of the things I asked you to consider:
- What Lina had done that day with Feroza (think about the possibilities – usual washing, the school, people laughing at them for wearing one sandal each, queuing for water, sitting in the tent maybe listening to the Dhol drums)
- How Lina feels about the news of her name being on the list and going to America and Feroza’s name not being there.
- Her new shoes given to her by her mother
- How she feels about leaving the Feroza and the camp and its Relief Workers behind. She had been there a long time and very much wanted a new home.
Suggested starters:

Spellings:
If you have a dictionary at home, use it to help you find and list some other words that include hyphens. Start by looking at co-, non-, and re- words.
Hyphens are sometimes used to join a prefix (like the ones above) to a root word, especially if the prefix ends in a vowel and the root word begins with one. E.g. co-operate re-apply
Hyphens are also used to make compound words. Most of these are adjectives or nouns E.g. sugar-free (adjective) ice-cream (noun)
Can you think of someone in our class who has a hyphen in their name?
