Your task this week

• To check your reading plan, you will be expected to have completed your book in the next 3 weeks.
• Create a prediction on what you think will occur at the end of the book - based on what you have discovered - remember to give evidence (with page number) to support your thoughts.
• Identify a particular part of the story where the writer has used a language technique eg:
•  alliteration - repetition of sound eg. Big Blue Bike.
•  onomatopoeia - sounds like what it refers to eg. Pop, Bang etc.
•  Personification - giving human qualities to something lifeless eg. The door squeaked.
•  Metaphor -  something is said to be something else eg. You're a bear.
•  Contrast - to show difference when comparing
•  Smiles, - to show how something is similar eg Like/as.
•  Short sentence
• Why do you think the writer used this?
• If you cannot find any of the above, then you should create 2 of your own and state where in the book you would advise the author to add them.

REMEMBER - you will be reporting back to your group on WEDNESDAY 6th June.
