English Homework- Due 21st September 2020

In our recent English lessons, we have been exploring the features of explanation texts as well as planning and writing our own. Now it is time to show off these skills once more!

Your homework task is to design and write an explanation text about a new, very handy machine - the ‘Tidy Your Bedroom’ Machine. Take a little time before your start writing to think about the different features it will include, maybe even draw a sketch of your machine.

Now use this structure to help write your explanation text, don’t forget your subheadings...:

Introduction

Write a short paragraph introducing your machine and its benefits. Remember, don’t go into too much detail. Remember to include rhetorical questions to hook the reader’s attention.

Main Body (Explain how the machine works)

In this paragraph explain how the machine works. How is it powered? Is it battery or mains powered? Use a formal voice and make sure you include some WOW words!

Main Body (Explain the benefits of your machine)

Why is your machine amazing? What makes it special? How will it help?

Conclusion

Finish off by writing about the main point from each paragraph. 

As we continue to try and reduce the number of items coming into our classrooms, we would really appreciate it if you could share your English task with your class teacher electronically using your school360 email account.

It could be typed and sent to your teacher as an attachment in an email, you could share it as a Google doc or even write it out by hand and then email a photograph of your work.
