Keep a journal of what’s happening in your life

at the moment. Try to find out some facts and

about the restrictions that have been placed

upon NSW residents, Australians and people

around the world. We are living through a

moment of time that will go down in history.

Your grandchildren may learn about this in

school! Your journal will be a primary source of

information for them. Consider the following

prompts: What did the Australian Government

announce today? Does it impact your life?

Why or why not? What is open in your

neighbourhood? What is closed? How is today

different from yesterday for you, your family,

our nation, the world? What does your family

need today that you might not have enough of,

or be able to acquire, in the future?

the reader.

words.

Topic: iPads are better than PCs.

Task: View the persuasive language and persuasive writing posters. You may

like to use the persuasive writing scaffold to help you plan your writing. Look at

the checklist before you begin to help guide you.

Use your understanding of an exposition from last week’s learning to write a

persuasive text to convince your teacher that iPads are better than PCs. (You can write it from the other perspective if you prefer ie: PCs are better than iPads).

Remember to focus on using wow words (high level vocabulary) and effective

openers. You can either write this on a piece of paper or type it. See GC if you

are typing it.

Friday’s Big Write Edit

Edit your text for spelling and punctuation errors and improve your vocabulary

and openers. Highlight VCOP. Complete the checklist on GC (this one will allow

you to make your own copy). Once you have finished, upload your Big Write and

checklist to GC (if you typed it) or Seesaw (if you wrote it on paper).
