Good luck with your mid-year examinations!

Activity 7:

Write a diary page

• For fun, you might like to add a diary page explaining whether you have grown as a person having dealt with prejudice; whether you have realized some things which you had not thought about before and whether your relationships or friendships have been affected as a result.

Memorandum

ACTIVITY 1: Study fact / opinion

• Allow them to work separately, do self-marking and take in the results. Perhaps go over the technique first and give them other examples to consolidate this technique too.

ACTIVITY 2: Finding 10 advertisements / extracting fact and opinion

• This should be a project to be handed in. They should realize just how much opinion there is in advertising. Go over the checklists with them and take in the project for you to mark – for the portfolio.
• You should mark the class presentation as well or get members of the class to assess certain aspects and to report at the end, justifying their assessment.

ACTIVITY 3: Invent a board game or toy

• This is also a project and should elicit some original ideas and some creative thought. They should by now have learnt about presentation and you and they should notice the difference. In general, their confidence in writing and in speaking should have improved vastly.

ACTIVITY 7: Write diary page

• Finally, the diary page might just give you some insights into their growth!
