The Royal Show is just around the corner and that can only mean one thing… SHOWBAGS!!!
This week is Book Week and to celebrate Room 16 will be holding a special Book Day on Monday 14th September (Week 9).
In preparation for our Book Day there will be no regular homework this week (unless you want to do it?!) Instead you are going to create a showbag based on your understanding of a book you have enjoyed at some stage of your life (at school, at home, this year, last year…) In other words, your all-time favourite book!
The items in the showbag should have a clear relevance to what you think or discover about various aspects of the book. Your book can either be fiction or non-fiction. You will present your showbag to the class during Book Day. Make sure your showbag is labelled with your name and class.
Suggested Homework Timeline:
Monday:
1. Choose your book. If your chosen book is one you haven’t read for a while then reread it over the week (if possible), or at the very least skim and scan the book to remind yourself of the main events, characters, setting, etc.
2. Find a bag suitable for a showbag (paper bags are the best)
3. Decorate the outside of your showbag with a copy of the book cover or an alternative cover you have designed.
IMPORTANT: Please bring your book to school on Tuesday, as we will be using it to complete class activities during the week.
Tuesday:
1. Find at least one ready-made object from the suggested showbag activities table (Column A) to add to your showbag.
2. Start your oral presentation planning by answering the three compulsory reading response questions.
Wednesday:
1. Find at least one different ready-made object from the suggested showbag activities table (Column A) to add to your showbag.
2. Continue your oral presentation planning by answering three other reading response questions (fiction or non-fiction depending on your book.).
Thursday:
1. Practice your presentation in front of a family member to make sure you are within the time limit.
2. Make any changes, edit your presentation if you need to and complete any last minute details.
Top tip: Revisit and practice your presentation over the weekend (if you have time) so you remember what you need to do on Monday!
