This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due on Thursday 17 November.
To be able to compare and contrast.
The children have brought home some poems we’ve looked at this week. One of the skills we’re working on is comparing and contrasting. Choose two poems. Compare and contrast them. (3 marks)
- 3 marks means mention 3 things
- Name the poem you are referring to
- If you mention a difference, discuss both poems (and make sure it’s a comparison and not just two random differences)
- Give some examples of what you mean eg. they’re both informal: ‘hiya’ is used in (a) and ‘wassup’ is use din (b)
- Don’t be too obvious (I know they’re both poems)
Then, choose any two texts (newspaper, story, magazine, comic, info book) and answer the same 3 marks question, comparing and contrasting them.
