Tuesday 26th January

English:

LO: To explore reference texts

Your task today is to use a published source of information (included here) to fact check some commonly reported statements: the text is the True or False? book that I introduced to you yesterday. You do not have to print the pages out if you can read them on your screen.

  • First, read the Research statements on the first page. Have you heard these said before? What are your first reactions? How could you check them?
  • Then, look at the pages taken from True or False? Read them carefully, researching the statements, to help you decide if each of them is True or False? You are fact checking.
  • Next, write a response to each Research statement. Explain if it is true or not and if you expected this to be the answer. Did you already have a feeling about it?

Reading Comprehension:

Focusing again on ‘Five children & It’ here is an activity to make you think about some old-fashioned phrases, which you may not have heard of but may occur in classic fiction. I’ve included the extract again for you to read the phrases in context. You do not need to print these resources out.
