Read Anything Good Lately?

2009-10-04T19:28:00.005+01:00

READ ANYTHING GOOD LATELY?

Choose a book that you have read recently; it can be something you read in the summer holidays, something you've read in the last couple of months or even the book that you are currently reading!

Write a short review of it and leave it as a comment.

Your review should look like this:

Book Title:

Author:

Outline of the Plot: (write no more than 50 words outlining what the book is about - remember DO NOT give away the ending)

Recommended for: (who do you think would enjoy reading this book)

Stars: (give it a star rating 4 * is excellent and 0* is not very good at all)

My review:

Underworld

Catherine MacPhail

A school trip goes disastrously wrong when a visit to local caves turns into something far more sinister. Five school children find themselves trapped beneath the ground. Then a member of the group disappears. Does one of the remaining four know more than they are letting on, or is there something evil lurking in the caves?

I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a gripping page turner.

****

Describing Who?

2009-09-18T09:46:00.003+01:00

Your task is to write a comment with a short description of a famous person. Do not write the name of the person you are describing, we will play a guessing game with them next week.

Remember to use a wide range of adjectives.

Can you guess who this example is about?

She has long blonde hair which is very curly. She has thin brown eyebrows and dark brown eyes. She wears heavy eyeliner around her eyes. When she dances she is very elegant and she has a lovely singing voice.

DO NOT put your full name on your comment. Just your first name.

St Andrew's Eve

2009-09-16T12:45:00.002+01:00

Read the two extracts below before completing the tasks.

The first extract is taken from a book about folklore. The second extract is adapted from Chapter 5 of 'My Swordhand is Singing'

Extract One: In Rumania, the strigoli or vampires come out on the eve of St. Andrew's day so women anoint their locks and casements with garlic to keep them out. The vampires fight among themselves at crossroads, returning to their graves at cockcrow.

Extract Two: 'He worked laboriously, painting the tar onto the windowsills of his house. Others worked on their houses around the square, some slowly and methodically, others fast, but all around the village, every window frame was being coated with thick black tar. The Priest had moved to his door and after he had covered the frame with a good layer of the stuff he scraped the last from the sides of his bucket and daubed a large untidy cross on the door itself.'

Task One: Use a dictionary to find out the meaning of any words you are unsure of.

Task Two: What similarities and differences do the two extracts have?

Task Three: Why do you think the people of Chust are behaving in this way? Who or what are they protecting themselves from?

Record your answers to Task Two and Task Three as a comment which once submitted I will post to the blog. Remember to select anonymous and include only your first name.

Money Money Money

2008-10-13T21:21:00.004+01:00

Read the lyrics for 'Money Money Money' by Abba.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Money Money Money

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Aint it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
Thats too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldnt have to work at all, Id fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich mans world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich mans world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
Its a rich mans world

A man like that is hard to find but I cant get him off my mind
Aint it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldnt fancy me
Thats too bad
So I must leave, Ill have to go
To las vegas or monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich mans world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich mans world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
Its a rich mans world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich mans world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich mans world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
Its a rich mans world

Its a rich mans world

What attitudes and values are being presented?

I bet you're still singing along!

Junk, Punk and 1985

2008-09-18T14:01:00.001+01:00

Junk is loosely set in 1985 - it was a time of political change and technological advances (the first mobile phones were introduced to the UK) and the term term 'Football Hooligan' was coined.

1985 was the sixth year of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government. it was the year in which unemployment soared, she referred to the increasingly high numbers of unemployed people as 'Moaning Minnies', and coined the term 'Thatcherism' as something to be proud of.

1985 also saw the start of the year-long 'miners strike' end, despite huge popular support. this was a major defeat for the trades union movement, and was part of the Thatcher goverment's determination to undermine and ultimately outlaw industrial action. a wave of sackings of leaders and union officials followed the strike, effectively destroying the mining industry.
