Good morning everyone, hope you had an enjoyable day and didn’t get too wet. Learning activities for Wednesday 27th January 2021 follow:
English
Learning Objective/Focus: To plan and perform an interview.
Main input: Today we are going to plan and perform an interview with ????. Do you know what a biography/autobiography is? Gather ideas of questions to be asked- early life/ married life/ significant events/ his/her work- and create a list to use as a prompt. Discuss what ????? might be like in an interview. What kind of man/woman is/was he/she? How would he/she carry himself/herself/ speak? Have time to plan around ten questions and answers. Look with family members at how this would be written as a question and answer interview, very much like a playscript. Write a question and the answer ????? might have given. Ensure you understand that the questions should be open and the answers detailed.
Activities: Must: Write the biographical question and answer interview. This should include the 10 questions including details about his/her life, key events and his/her work.
Should: As above but ensure your questions and answers are well structured and contain detail.
