Hello to my mature scholars!

I hope your creative juices are flowing as you write those stories.

Please come prepared on Tuesday with your settings and characterization of protagonist and antagonist.

Check out the website or Facebook for help. (Under story writers)

Walk good.

Story writers

I created a storyboard with MS Word but I chose to write my ideas- I cant draw.

It should prove useful for you .

Grade 7 English Literature

So we have read An Honest Thief.

Tell me :

1. Who was the 'real bad man'?

2. Did Mr. Spencer deserve what happened? Why?

3. Compare Mr. Spencer and Bulldog.  (How are they alike? How are they different?)

4. What did you think of Mrs. Spencer? Why?

5. Explain how greed, role of women in society, power and authority were shown in the story.

By de way we a deal wid each question one at a time.  So start with number 1 first. I will tell you my thoughts after.

Grade 7 Language Term 3

A student from 7-1 asked if the computer could be used to generate the storyboard pictures.

My answer was yes. It is actually a brilliant idea. @ KW it sell off yout!

Remember the storyboard is a scene by scene diagram of your plot.

You can use PowerPoint, Paint, Story Album and MS Word/ Publisher to create the storyboard.

Share any ideas you have! Or let me know if you need help.

Welcome to my journey as a teacher of English Language and Literature to Jamaican students.
