Find out where the Olympic torch has travelled in the 2008 relay. Mark these places on your world map in your unit studies book. This is due to be completed by Wednesday 30 July. While you are doing this, find out a bit more about the controversy around the torch that we discussed in class. Be ready to share ideas and opinions in class on this.
 * TASK ONE: Olympics

TASK TWO: Speeches Tuesday 29th July - Have a topic for your speech and a completed brainstorm around your topic. Keep checking back here because I will add to this as the week goes by. Remember speeches need to be written this week ready to deliver by the end of Week 3. I will scaffold you through this so don't get too far ahead of yourselves. Stage One: Brainstorm and write down your main points. Bring this sheet to class ready on Thursday. Stage Two: What your speech is about and tips for writing your speech. Completed in class Thursday. Appetising introduction: Write 4-5 sentences for your introduction. Don't forget to draw your audience in through your language! You need to have this completed by Monday Week 3. Speeches will be presented in class on Thursday or Friday of Week 3.

TASK THREE: Spelling Learn your spelling words this week. Remember to write them out when you are practising them. Aim for 12 out of 12 in your test on Friday.

TASK FOUR: Literature Circles Read your next chapters for your novel and complete your task. I expect to see high standards of work as you have had all of Term Two to practise these different roles. You should be experts by now!

Other reminders: Don't forget to bring sports shoes and socks for Cross Country each day. Bring back interview slips ASAP in order to ensure a meeting time with me.**
