Your Assessment Task

To create and present a dialogue between two characters from a story, where one character is telling another character ‘how to do something’.

So, what do we do? This is a partnered assessment item. You need to show an understanding of the way language features sequence and link your ideas and the way characterisation and dialogue have been used in the story.You do not need a lot of dialogue between the characters.Your aim is to have each character speak twice.You are not being assessed on 'HOW MUCH' you write.

What do I need to do to get an A!

You must be able to do the following:– Use language features to link and sequence ideas.– Contribute actively to group discussions, ask

questions and provide useful feedback.– Make a presentation for our classmates.– Create texts to express and develop events, ideas

and characters for our classmates.Lets look at an exemplar to help explain what this means.

Let’s look at Verbs

There are ‘saying’ verbs – they represent talking. For example,– ‘tell’, ‘say’, ‘report’, ‘state’, ‘ask’, ‘whisper’,

‘yell’.

Verbs are words that show what is happening in a sentence.There are ‘doing’ verbs – they represent actions. For example, – ‘run’, ‘jump’, ‘somersault’, ‘swim’, ‘laugh’,

‘crouch’.There are ‘thinking or sensing’ verbs – they represent feeling and thinking. For example,– ‘think’, ‘hope’, ‘hate’, ‘love’, ‘like’, ‘saw’,

‘heard’.

ActivityUsing the Underhog or superhog activity sheet, cut out the words and sort the verbs into groups of doing, thinking or saying verbs.Once you have completed your sort, regroup the verbs to show what Ngiri was feeling at the beginning and end of the story or Write the verbs into your writing book with the headings:– Doing– Thinking/Feeling– Saying

If we have time!
