Skills being practiced: Year 9 English Homework Tasks | Term: Spring 2 | Topic: Short Stories Instructions: Each week you will complete one piece of homework. This will be either one of the activities below, or revision from your Knowledge Organiser for a test in class. Your teacher will let you know what homework activity you’re doing and when this should be handed in. Skills being practiced: Reading Skills: Show your understanding of what you have read by using quotations and analysing the effect of these on the audience or reader. Writing Skills: Show off your range of vocabulary, your understanding of grammar and your ability to write creatively. Research Challenge: You will need to use a computer or a library to help you find the information needed to complete this task. Homework activity: Read Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl; this can be found on Show My Homework or online: http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/lamb.html Answer the question: How does Roald Dahl create tension in the short story? Make sure that you examine the writer's methods and explore the effect on the reader. Aim to write at least 2 enhanced MQA paragraphs that are linked. Write a detailed five-part plan for a short story about a time your overcame your biggest fear, making sure that you include a range of reminders for ambitious vocabulary, paragraphing, sentence construction etc. You should make the plan so detailed that another student should be able to a story based on your notes. Give your short story plan a title and explain your choice. Research the history of the short story: when did they first appear? For what purpose? https://www.britannica.com/art/short-story Do you think that short stories are still as important today? Why? ‘The short story form is better suited to the demands of modern life than the novel.’ Do you agree with this statement? Why? Why not? Don’t forget to check your spellings and word choice by using your Gem when completing your homework. These are available to buy on Parent Pay or through Mrs Parker, E5.
