hi all,

Our unit on narratives will continue to run for the next 3 weeks, so this is what you can expect:

Wed, 26 Mar 2008:

• Plot Summary Exercise - You will need to come up with an original narrative plot in class. Thereafter, we will do some peer marking and comments to see how you can further improve your narratives.
• Introductions and Dialogue - We will also continue our study of what goes into a good introduction and how to infuse good dialogue into your narratives.
  
• Homework - You will need to individually work on the introduction for your plot summary and submit it to me by Wed, 2 Apr 2008.
  

• Plot Summary Test - Utilising what you have prepared previously (or coming up with a fresh plot altogether), you need to complete a plot summary test, which is worth 5% of your marks.

• Review of introductions: We will be taking some time to examine your introductions.
• We will also look at how to work on infusing dialogue and how to work a twist into your narrative.

• Introduction Test: This is another assessment portion for this unit whereby you are required to write an introduction using what you have come up with in your plot summary. This is worth 5% of your marks.
  

• Final Performance of Understanding: You will be required to write a narrative utilising whatever you have done for your plot summary, this is worth 20% of your marks.

hi all,

We are continuing with improving our group writing pieces, so our lesson will involve the following:

• A role play
• Writing introductions
• Incorporating dialogue into narratives
  

Gentlemen

Sorry to use the English Blog for CE matters, but I understand from Hadi that there is some confusion about the CE project.

You are expected to submit your CE project by 31 Mar 2008 and your presentation will be the next or following week after submission.

We will clarify queries on the grouping during Monday's Form Teacher time.

Thanks.

Regards,
Mr Tan

hi all,

As you would already know, the use of adjectives within your narratives is extremely important. Watch and enjoy!

Best wishes,
Mr Tan
