engish work

 Important parts of this question are Describe and Explain. 

















Goal: Write a paragraph together describing a character and using a quote. 


Ellie is an important character…

Leader, makes important decisions, brave, good ideas, respectful, she is the narrator  

One of the important moments for Ellie is When she returns home to a different world. After a camping trip in ‘Hell’ Ellie and her friends arrive back to empty homes. She is scared and confused by the fact that everyone is gone. She becomes distraught when she realises that her dogs have been attacked.  


  • Blowing up the soldiers - guilt, emotional trama, 

  • Taking charge - leadership, bravery, cares about her friends 

  • Mental breakdown - sad, aggravated, scared and worried - dealing with consequences 

  • Questions the morality - thinking, processing 

  • Returning to home - scared, confused, lost her innocence

  • Helps rescue Lee - compassionate, 

  • She tells chris off for falling asleep during sentry duty. 

This is a key moment because Ellie realises that there might be a war on. The impact of this moment is the realisation that something very serious has taken place. 

This moment shows the reader that Ellie is understanding that something larger has begun. Ellie’s reaction makes the reader think about war and invasion and how we would react in similar circumstances. 


  • Reaction to the pets dying, concerned because her parents would take care of the animals, parents have not planned this. 

How does Ellie change from the beginning of the story to the end? 


Discuss how each quote could be used?


  • “At that stage I still hadn’t come to terms with what had happened. That's not surprising. We knew so little. All we had were clues, guesses, surmises”pg 78-9


  • “For the first time I saw their faces; then I struck the match” pg 90


  • “It was hard for me to believe that I, plain old Ellie, nothing special about me, middle of the road in every way, had probably just killed three people” pg 95


  • “Although we’d worked out a route and agreed on it I decided I was no longer bound by majority vote: circumstances had changed.” p 143


  • “Demonic figures ran screaming from me, I felt skulls crush under my feet. Burning bodies stretched out their hands begging for mercy.” pg 163


  • “All I could think of to do was to trust to instinct. That was all I had really. Human laws, moral laws, religious laws, they all seemed artificial and basic, almost childlike.” (pg 217)


A quote that shows Ellie’s (trait) is… 




Step One- For your Statement you need to state the key moment, character, challenge, idea you wish to discuss as part of the larger story.  


Step Two- Then you need to describe the Example for the reader (remember they have not read the book so you need to give detail so they can follow your argument). 


Step Three- Then you need to Explain the  importance or meaning of this event/challenge/idea/or character in relation to the story.


Step Four- Then you need to Explain the EFFECT  of this on you as a reader. - this requires a response from you - how it made you feel, why this challenged you, why this is important for others to know about. 


Step Five- You can then link your ideas to your main argument, to another moment in the film or to the wider context. - reflect on the story as a whole.

Tomorrow, when the war began ( chapter 16/17)

Read through Chapter 16-17. Use the words in bold to fill in the blanks.

I too had blood on my hands, like the Hermit, and just as I couldn’t tell whether his actions were good or bad, so too I couldn’t tell what mine were. Had I killed out of love of my friends, as part of a noble crusade to rescue friends and family and keep our land free? Or had I killed because I valued my life above that of others? Would it be OK for me to kill a dozen others to keep myself alive? A hundred? A thousand? At what point did I condemn myself to Hell, if I hadn’t already done so? The Bible just said ‘Thou shalt not kill’, then told hundreds of stories of people killing each other and becoming heros , like David with Goliath. That didn’t help me much.

I didn’t feel like a criminal , but I didn’t feel like a hero either. P.216

condemn, blood, criminal, actions, dozen, valued, heroes, crusade


The people we’ve talked to say the soldiers are anxious to keep their noses clean.

They know that sooner or later the United Nations and the Red Cross Will be wandering around, and they don’t want to attract a lot of heat from them. They keep talking about a “clean” invasion . They figure that if there’s no talk of concentration camps and torture and rape and stuff, there’s less chance of countries like America getting involved.’ P.224

invasion, soldiers, concentration,attract, torture, anxious

Science Experiment - Land Yacht

Science Experiment - Land Yacht

Aim: To make the fastest land yacht racer.
Equipment: Base trolley, bamboo stick, strings, tape, scissors, newspaper..
Method: Use every equipment needed... Boom!... Best land yacht racer is made.. We use the big leaf blower to make our land yacht move.. The closer the leaf blower, the faster the land yacht move, but if the leaf blower is too close to the yacht, the yacht will get knocked down or it'll break the yacht...


Results: We got first place on the first round, our was the furthest than the others... The distance was 10 metre, and the time was 10.10, so to know the speed of the yacht we divide 10 metre and 10.10s = 0.99 millimeter per second...

Lawter Paragraph: What did a weaving machine make

 Statement 

The industrial revolution is really important to us. Industrial revolution was in… time period his process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain's economic development from 1760 to 1840. The weaving machine is one of the things that was used in the industrial revolotion. 


Weaving Machine 


This paragraph is about the industrial revolution for technology advancement. In this lawyer paragraph I will be doing what a weaving machine makes and why it is important. Weaving machines are important because of their  developments in automation, one weaver is needed to operate one loom, and an assistant if necessary, a complex pattern was being woven, to make clothes. It consists of intertwining two separate yarns or threads at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. Those two threads are called warp and the weft. Fabric is usually woven on a loom which is a device that holds the warp threads in place while weft is woven through them.  Weaving machines are very important because they make clothes and we still have this machine to make clothes .
