Students have been preparing and presenting a "pitch" of their short story this week. The idea is to give a presentation of the story that they wrote before Christmas to the publisher of a major pubishing company in the hope that it will be "published" in the class anthology. They have been encouraged to make their pitch persuasive and engaging and include an exerpt to spark our interest in reading the story.
We have started off reading for term 2 by choosing and reading independent novels. Students have been reading these novels in class for the past week and should read their novels each evening at home for at least 20 minutes. A bookmark assignment, based on the first half of their novel is due in class at the end of this week.
