Homework

Good afternoon!

Well, colour me impressed by some of the ideas and performances this morning - great job with the monologues, people! As you know, I'd initially intended to make a book of poetry when we were looking at the Roald Dahl poem; unfortunately the quality of poems was a bit uneven, with some people finding consistent use of rhyme and rhythm pretty hard to master. But I've been delighted by the work you guys put into this challenge, and I think we could easily put these pieces together, and illustrate them, to make a really nice book for the younger children to enjoy in the library.

Your homework is therefore twofold:

(1) Copy the sentences below, and correct all the mistakes. They may be spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors. Look carefully!

(2) If you are an artistic type, and would like to create an illustration to accompany your story in the book (for extra credit), please have a crack at making a professional-looking illustration. You can use any medium, including computer packages, to create the artwork to go with your monologue.


SENTENCES TO CORRECT FOR HOMEWORK

1) Aashis PowerPoint presentation was fascinating but unfotunitly she could not show anyone because the coputer was broken

2) Miss Nichola couldnt believe her bad luck she had forgotten to bring an umbrella on the rainest day of the year

3) I need to buy lettuce tomatos cucumber cheese apple's and walnut's to make the perfect salad for the party

4) The Commonwelth games will be starting very soon in delhi but they're are lot's of problems because the buildings are not reddy for the visiting athletes yet

5) the trailers for the movie harry potter and the dethly hollows make it look like the darkest Potter movie yet

6) miss nichola really like's iced coffy but shes started to prefer a mango smoothie in the morning

7) Unlike lots of languages english does not have a simple logical set of spelling rule's. This make's your life difficult if you are lurning it.

8) book weeks always busy at st andrews sathorn as the younger children compeet in lots of different competitions like desyning posters designing bookmarks decorating their doors and dressing up in fancy dress costume's.
9) Goldilocks eat all the bares porridge and break they're chairs and slept on there bed too.
10) the book is called twilight and i like it because of bellas romance with edward and because its full of exciting dispriptions

YOU HAVE TO HAND THIS IN ON WEDNESDAY.
