<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">I'm on an excursion today so I've left a number of things that you need to do in preparation for your SAC on Thursday. First of all, you need to prepare your cheat sheet. The following document has lots of ideas about the kinds of information you should include and the rules for having a cheat sheet. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Next, you should review the Theme tables that you worked on in class and for homework. You might also like to re-read some parts of the novel to refresh your memories. It might help to make sure that you can spell all the names of the characters correctly - you can write them on your cheat sheet. Then, look over the powerpoint presentation that we went through in class - you'll find it in the section on Ransom on this wiki. There's also lots more information you could read under the Ransom section. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Don't waste your time - work hard!

<span style="color: #c500ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; text-align: center;">This week we begin work on <span style="color: #1400ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">persuasive language. We are going to endeavour to have the <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">point of view (persuasive) oral assessment completed before the end of term 1. As most of you completed an oral assessment (point of view - persuasive) last year, we should only need to revise. Anyone who feels they need some extra assistance with this - please see me to organise. The first link is to the powerpoint presentation covered in class (in case you want to go over it again) <span style="color: #c500ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #c500ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%; text-align: center;">The second link is to the classwork/homework for this week. You need to <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">complete the revision table for some of the most popular persuasive techniques. Complete the table and email to me by the end of the week. <span style="color: #1cb486; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> <span style="color: #1cb486; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;">Hint: You will find most of these techniques in your text book, but you might need to research some others.
