WB 4 p151
Select the best questions and, if you can, ask an older person. Make notes of the answers under these headings.
• What was the same? • What was different? • What I think
3 Use your notes to write a report called ‘Then and Now’. Include these sections: • Introduction (what the report is about)
• What was the same
• What was different
• Summing up (main idea and what I think)
• Read aloud the poem from Listening Texts page 163 for the students' enjoyment. CR Discuss with students whether Creole or Standard English would be appropriate for this interview. • If students are unable to interview an older person at home, invite an older person to visit the class. • Students should plan and make notes before writing their report. Use the pre-writing organiser, page 159. Encourage students to read their draft to a partner. DA This takes students as far as the first draft. Some students can go on to revise and edit their work. Portfolio: Involve students in collecting samples of work they like; writing a few sentences as to why they liked them.
