Homework Week 8

-->

HOMEWORK WEEK 8:

WRITING – In your English books writes an exposition about whether Australia should change their flag. Use your notes from the video we watched on BTN. Remember you should have the following things:

·       Introduction (stating what the topic is and clearly what side you are on)

·       2-3 paragraphs (each with a different argument. Think about expanding your ideas with rhetorical questions, examples, quotes, etc.)

·       Conclusion (restating the argument and side you are on. Also summarising your points by relisting main arguments from each paragraph).

*Do not use I or me in your writing. Also aim for high modality words such as ‘should’ and ‘will’ instead of low modality such as ‘maybe’ or ‘could be’.

READING – read every night written and signed in your diary
