2013

I know it is hard to believe but soon you will be in Year 9! Time to start thinking a head and planning for another successful year!

Letter Writing

Your task is to write a letter to your English teacher for next year. This is your chance to start the year well, and make a good impression, so think carefully about what you write.

It’s also your opportunity to reflect on this year and think about what you are still finding difficult and may need extra help with next year. Also, to set yourself some goals; what would you like to achieve? Answer the following questions. Remember a letter has paragraphs and not numbers. Remember the other features of a letter: Eg: Dear, From etc...
 * 1) Introduce yourself. You might like to write about your favourite subjects, your interests outside of school or your dreams for the future. Anything you think would be interesting to read.
 * 2) Talk about your reading. Do you read? Why/why not? How often? Can you describe your favourite book or a book you have enjoyed reading lately?
 * 3) English – what aspects of this year have you enjoyed? Have you leant anything that has changed the way you think about reading? What have you found difficult?
 * 4) Goals – list 3 goals for next year. What would you like to achieve? These could be academic goals or things you need to change about your behaviour to help you learn better.

Make it memorable! Add some colour or pictures.
