VMG Literacy - Reading Week 5 Firstly, discuss with your partner your aims for reading improvement from 2 weeks ago.
Years 7 and 8: use the Guided Reading Challenge to develop your reading skills. • Use your Accelerated Reader book and choose a GRC task to challenge you while you’re reading. • You could read for 10 minutes then have a go at a GRC task, or you could read for 5 minutes, start the task, read a little more and then add to your GRC ideas. • You can choose anything from the Setting, Character or Plot rows, but save the Reflection until you have finished your book. • The ones in green on the left are more straightforward, and the ones in orange, red, purple etc are slightly more challenging (so you win more points for completing those!)
Years 9, 10 and 11: Reading for Meaning • Read the following text from MSN News to yourself, or quietly to a partner, and answer any 3 of the 5 the questions below IN SENTENCES. They become increasingly tricky – try to challenge yourself! • 1) What does terminated mean in this context? • 2) Why are there punctuation marks around the words untidy, repugnant and unsavoury? • 3) Write down the names of three employers who do not allow visible tattoos. • 4) Why do you think that the article mentions Samantha Cameron, David Beckham and Cheryl Cole? • 5) Write down three words or phrases from the article that are alternatives for the words tattoo or tattoos.
The answers: • 1) Terminated means ended here – her contract was ended because of her visible tattoo. • 2) The punctuation marks around the words are quotation marks to show that these are words taken directly from the report. Its shows that people taking part in the study actually used those words. • 3) Employers that do not allow visible tattoos include HMV, Next, The Metropolitan Police (airlines are mentioned too). • 4) These people are mentioned to show that tattoos are very mainstream and popular. These people are role models (and from different areas – politics, sport and music which shows that tattoos are not limited to a particular age group or interest). • 5) ‘image’, ‘skin markings’ and ‘ink’.
Have you improved on your aims from last time? • Tell your partner two things you did well at or that you are pleased with. • Tell your partner one thing that you would like to improve on next time.
