Friendship and George and Lennie

Hi Y10
This is our lesson on Friendship and the contrast between George and Lennie's realtionship and everybody else's... There are two people that aren't lonely and one of them shoots the other in the back of the head. How is Steinbeck presenting loneliness here? What is he trying to say about loneliness? What's he saying about understanding each other?

Curley's Wife

Hi Y10

This week we have looked at Curley's Wife. We have considered her presentation in the novel. and how she contributes to the theme of loneliness.

You should have top 5 quotes to show her as a lonely character and be able to explain her purpose in the novel.

Your homework was to read the Miss Luce letter. I expect you to be able to show with page numbers where she does or doesn't achieve what Steinbeck says in the novel.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Best wishes,
Ms 

Crooks in OMAM

Dear Y10
Firstly, we all need to get into the habit of looking at the blog and using it as a resource for homework and if you miss a lesson.
This week we have studied Crooks and considered how Steinbeck presents him as a lonely character. The lesson and the homework are in the PowerPoint below.



Do let me know if you have any questions.

Where we are now.

Dear Y10

We are now in full swing of our preparation for our Controlled Assessment.

This is:

Your local newspaper is inviting young people to submit pieces of writing which could be published in the newspaper. They would like young people to write about:

What you would get rid of to improve life in the C21st?

We have spent our time so far looking at sentence structures. We looked at an article on an iPad and mirrored this style to make our writing lively and engaging. 

We have also worked in reverse with our sentences - this has meant that we make the structure first and then fit our writing into the sentence structure; it has lead to some successful and sophisticated writing.

Your homework was to finish your sporty sentence posters and write four paragraphs using all the sentence stuctures we have looked at.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Ms
