P7 - Week Beginning 29 Aug 2011

Reading - Visualization Skill

Read the following extract from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.

The paper had been sealed in several places with a thimble by way of a seal; the very thimble, perhaps, that I had found in the captain's pocket. The doctor opened the seals with great care, and there fell out the map of an island, with latitude and longitude, soundings, names of hills, and bays and inlets, and every particular that would be needed to bring a ship to safe anchorage upon its shores. It was about nine miles long and five across, shaped, you might say, like a fat dragon standing up, and had two fine land-locked harbours, and a hill in the centre marked "The Spy-glass", There were several additions of a later date; but above all, three crosses of red ink - two on the north part of the island, one in the south-west, and, beside this last, in the same red ink, and in a small, neat hand, very different from the captain's tottery characters, these words: "Bulk of treasure here".

Your task is to create your own treasure map using the information from the above extract. To help, it is a good idea to highlight the words and phrases that describe the location and terrain.

Why do you think the hill is called "Spy-glass"?

Reading


You are to read and analyse two of the four newspaper articles about the recent riots which occurred in some English cities.

You should:
  • Highlight VCOP being used.
  • Create a new headline for your two articles.
  • Identify/highlight any words you do not understand so that we can review these in class.
You should also answer the following questions, remember there is no right or wrong answer,  you should be stating your opinion.
 
  • Why do you think it was mainly young people who were involved in the riots?
  • Why do you think they got involved?
  • The pictures of the young people have been made fuzzy (so you can't recognise them), why do you think this is done? do you agree with this approach?
  • Create your own WHY type question about these articles/the riots, to be discussed in class.
