Readers

Dear pupils,

Your task is to read and present your chosen book, including:
- the name of the book and its author
- setting (When and where does the story take place?)
- characters (Who are the main characters? What do they look like? What are they like? Did you like them? How did they make you feel? Who was your favourite character and why?)
- plot (What is the story about? What happened chronologically? Was it fun to read? Did you like the story ending and why?)
- your opinion (Did you like the book? What was your favourite part and why? What would you change? Were there any funny/scary bits? Did you learn anything? Who should read the story?)

In your group, decide who'll present each of these: setting, characters, plot, opinion. Also, write down 3 questions to quiz your friends.

For any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Happy reading =)

PS You can use any of the Canva templates in the folder. Just make a copy, give it a new name (the name of your book) and try not to delete anyone else's wok. Thank you =)

Food Preparation

What do you need to prepare a dish? Let's check!

World Issues

Think about a global problem. It can be global warming, air or water pollution, deforestation, endangered species, acid rain, or homelessness. 

Imagine you can change the world, at least by raising awareness about an issue.

Write a magazine article or a blog post, or design an infographic in Canva presenting your suggestions, as well as the results of these suggestions. 

Use the following ideas:
P1: What's the problem? What are its effects?
P2: How can we help? What is your first suggestion? What will happen if people do this?
P3: What else can we do to help? What is your second suggestion? What will happen if people do this?
P4: Summarise your opinion. Encourage everyone to adopt your solutions, giving reasons. Make a statement!

Don't forget to use some of the linking words to organise your ideas:
- to introduce suggestions: To begin/start with, One way, Firstly/Secondly...
- to express effect: Therefore, As a result/consequence...
- to conclude: All in all, To sum up/conclude...

You can find more information on the following sites:
World Wildlife Fund, Climate Kids, National Geographic Kids, or C2ES. Please, use the information for a reference, don't just copy-paste. Respect copyright.
