The Boy In The Dress
Read Chapter 5 & Chapter 6 then respond to
questions below using full sentences and text
evidence (either key details or quotes with
page numbers).
Chapter 5: -
- How does Dennis describe Lisa James?
- Why do you think Dennis “felt like a
celebrity as he walked down the road with
Lisa?”
Chapter 6: -
- “The blurry vision of her through the glass
of the door was enough to make his heart
beat faster”. How was Dennis feeling while
he waited outside Lisa’s front door?
- What is Lisa’s opinion about what people
wear? Why do you think this is important?
- Why is Dennis unsure if he should go back
to Lisa’s house?
Remember to restate part of the question
before you answer the question. For
example:
Dennis describes Lisa James as ...
Poetry - Limerick
Poetry is written to be performed, which is
why the meter (beat / rhythm) is important.
The meter keeps a beat as we say it and can
have between 1-3 syllables making the beat.
A very well know type of rhyming poem is a
Limerick. A limerick is a five-line poem that is
meant to be funny. They often contain
hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idioms, puns, and
other figurative devices. The last line of a
good limerick contains the PUNCH LINE or
“heart of the joke.” Read some examples of
limericks.
Limericks have a very set structure.
• They are nonsense verse.
• They have five lines.
• They have a rhyme scheme of A, A, B, B, A
(lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme; lines 3 and 4 rhyme).
• The meter is 3, 3, 2, 2, 3.
• The syllabification is 8, 8, 5, 5, 8.
The below is an example of the AABBA
pattern, and how line 1,2,5 have 8 syllables
and a 3 beat meter, while lines 3,4 have 6
syllables and a 2-beat meter.
Assignment Alert: This task must be
uploaded and submitted on the Assignments
tab in MS Teams!
Today we are looking at train timetables.
Watch the following video to see how to read
a train timetable.
Some important things to remember when
reading a train timetable:
- It tells you the names of each train
station in the column on the left
- The times that the train stops at
each station is listed
- If there is a dash ( --- ) this means
the train is not stopping at that
station
All Unique, All Different
Today we are learning about self-esteem and
the first thing you need to do is complete our
Compliment Challenge: -
- pick three classmates and think of one
positive compliment you could tell them
- you don’t have to actually tell them, you
just have to think of them – it's easy, right?
Now, think of three positive compliments you
could tell one other person – yourself. It’s
much more challenging, isn’t it? Why is it so
much harder to come up with positive things
about ourselves compared to other people?
It’s because way too many of us are way too
hard on ourselves...
Being positive and having positive self-
esteem (how you feel about yourself and
your abilities) is very important, especially for
teens and pre-teens. The media, however,
can sometimes have a negative impact on
the way we feel and think about ourselves
because of unrealistic expectations that are
set.
You can include text evidence as part of your
answer and explain it to better demonstrate
your understanding. For example:
Dennis describes Lisa James as “the most
beautiful girl in the school.” (Chapter 5). She
is older than him and taller than him, and he
actually has a massive crush on her.
Note: This task can be completed in an
exercise book if you have materials at home,
or in a Word document on your netbook.
There was a young lady of Cork, - 8 Whose Pa made a fortune in pork; -8 He bought for his daughter -6 A tutor who taught her -6 To balance green peas on her fork.-8
Watch this video to explain how the limerick
is written , then complete the ‘teacher’
limerick that has been partially written at the
bottom of the activity page.
Read through some other examples before
writing another limerick of your own.
Remember to follow the rules from above
and use the guide below to help you if you
need.
1) Choose the name of a person or place and
write the first line.
2) Look in a rhyming dictionary for words that
rhyme with your person or place name.
3) Write line 2 and 5 to rhyme with the first
line.
4) Now write lines 3 and 4 with a different
rhyme.
As you work with limericks, remember to
have pun, I mean FUN!
Today’s task will be completed using the
following worksheet and needs to be
uploaded as an assignment. Download the
worksheet onto your computer. Use the
attached Train timetable to answer the
questions.
Once finished, submit your answers in
today’s assignment.
Watch this video to learn more about the
effect the media can have on us.
Think of three specific examples of how the
media (TV, newspapers and ads) or social
media (Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, etc.) can
have a negative impact on our self-esteem.
You can write these down in a book or type
them up on your netbook if you like, but you
must have them ready to share for today’s
Class Call.
Too hard? Too hard? Too hard? Too hard?
Listen to the audio tracks while reading. It’s
important that you are still reading along
with the text while listening!
Chapter 5 Audio & Chapter 6 Audio
Watch this video to explain how the limerick
is written , then complete the ‘teacher’
limerick that has been partially written at the
bottom of the activity page.
Then have a go at writing a rhyming poem, if you’re finding a limerick hard, it may be like the nursery rhymes we did yesterday. Make it at least 5 lines.
Watch the following video to see how to read
a train timetable.
Answer the following questions by
downloading the document onto your
computer and use the train timetable. Make
sure you read the questions carefully. Submit
your answers in today’s assignment.
Watch the video from the lesson and try to
think of at least one way that the media and
social media can have a negative impact on
our self-esteem. As in, what do you see in the
media or on social media that might make
you feel like you’re not ‘good enough’?
Too easy? Too easy? Too easy? Too easy?
Have you used the right text evidence and
explained your answer to demonstrate your
comprehension? Use the last example in the
lesson plan as a guide to organise strong
responses.
Edit and revise word choice. What other words can you find that still fit the rule of a limerick poem? Write a second Limerick, try not using the “There once was someone from somewhere” structure, does the story make sense? Is it funny?
Use the Geelong to Melbourne Train
Timetable and answer the following
questions by downloading the document
onto your computer. Make sure you read the
questions carefully. Submit your answers in
today’s assignment.
You might like to turn your ideas and examples into a creative page in a book or on your netbook. In fact, you might even like to create an ‘advice guide’ to navigating media and social media while aiming to maintain positive self-esteem!
Don’t have _________? Don’t have _________? Don’t have _________? Don’t have _________?
There are no extra materials or resources required for this lesson, and it can be completed in an exercise book or on your netbook.
Complete task as assigned. Complete task as assigned. If you can’t access the video link, it’s okay! It’s just an explanation of the different ways the media can have an impact on how we think and feel about ourselves. Just focus on the three specific examples of how the media or social media can have a negative impact on our self-esteem.
