Tuesday’s English

Spend a few minutes practising the spellings learned last week (adding suffixes to words ending in -fer). Spellings to learn

Then return to The Convergence of the Twain.  You will be choosing a few words, a phrase, that seems to them to evoke some feeling or image particularly well. E.g. you might choose ‘In shadowy silent distance…’ or ‘grotesque, slimed, dumb, indifferent’.  You will then be using this phrase to describe something or someone quite different. It can be an event, a place, a thing, a person or just a feeling, e.g. The space monster emerged out of the gloom of the crater in the desert. It loomed up before us, grotesque, slimed…, etc

Look again at The Convergence of the Twain. Read through and choose an evocative phrase. You underline this, then think about what new context you will use this phrase in – will you be describing an event, a place, a person, a feeling…?  Once you have sorted this out you get writing. I want a short, descriptive paragraph structured round your chosen phrase or words.
