English L.O.: To explain author's intentions and character portrayal using text-based evidence.

Activity 1: Listen to Chapter 8 AND  Chapter 9 of 'Skellig' on the Learning --> Stories page of the website

Activity 2: Write down 5 adjectives to describe Michael in the story so far and 5 adjectives to describe Mina.

Today, we are going to explore P.E.E. paragraphs in a little more depth than last week. Take a look at the example of a P.E.E. paragraph below using evidence from the chapters we have just read.

Activity 3: Read through the following example:

P is for Point

This is where you make a statement about the text.

I think that Michael's impression of Mina is that she is clever.

E is for Evidence (or quote)

This is where you use the text to back up your statement by quoting from the passage you’ve been given or from the text.

Example: "...the kind of eyes you think can see right through you"

E is for Explanation

This is where you let loose creatively (not so loose that you forget what you want to say) and explain how the evidence backs up your point. Here you can explain the meaning of the quote and discuss the your inferences/ ideas.

Example: This quote could suggest that Mina can tell when someone is lying or what they are thinking. The author might have described Mina's eyes like this because Michael is a closed off character and Mina would be able to help him show his emotions as she could guess what he is feeling.

Activity 2: Write a PEE paragraph using the following 'point'. You will need to write the evidence and explanation.

Mina thinks Michael is dangerous to the birds.

Activity 3: Write a PEE paragraph using the following 'evidence'. You will need to make the point and write the explanation.

"His black suit hung like a sack on his thin bones"
