Hello again! How are you all keeping? Below you will find the guidelines for homework that I have prepared for this week.
- Open World:
– GRAMMAR p.72. If you have already gone through the Grammar reference on p.214, do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 on p.72. Ex.5 poses the question whether you have ever seen a film or play based on a book you have read. What are the differences between both? Which one do you prefer? -think about it! No need to do ex.6 on the same page.
– WRITING: REVIEW p.73. In the past book and film reviews were the main type of reviews. With the internet, people are often asked to review a wide variety of products and services, and they are more likely to review something they loved or hated, rather than something they considered average. The texts on this page are examples of reviews of a video game. Answer exercises 1 and 2 that are based on them.
Move on to the box with the rubric for a Book Review and the sample text given that answers it. Read it carefully. Ex.3 provides information about what a book review looks like: heading/ overview/ plot/ recommendation. See ex.4 too.
In the WRITING BANK of the book, page 238, you will find an example of a Film Review. There are exercises and examples dealing with other types of reviews on pages 238-9 you can have a look at, but focus mainly on book and film reviews for the moment.
- More work to do
– In the EOI WRITING BANK section of this blog you will find more detailed information about the layout of Book/ Film Reviews and some sample writings.
– More on FILM REVIEWS. Learn some more vocabulary and do some practice on how to write a film review: Film Review Practice
– More GRAMMAR PRACTICE: Narrative Tenses.
– LISTENING: «Holidays and Places»
– READING and USE of ENGLISH: «Art installations»
Try to work on all this the present week before moving on to the following sections of Unit 5, which we will be doing next week.
Keep on safe and well!
