Big Talk Homework

Monday 28^th January

This week we are studying the traditional story of ‘The Elves and the Shoe maker’ in two different formats. On Friday you will be writing a news report on the mysterious visitors who keep making shoes for the elderly shop owners. You will be able to find a version of the story on you tube if you don’t have a copy of the story.

For your TALK homework this week you should discuss:

-the 5Ws about the elves and the shoe makers – Who are they? When did it happen? What happened? Why did it happen? Where did it happen?

-the appearance and personalities of the characters

-description of the shop and clothes

-who you will interview as part of the report? (eyewitnesses)

-how you will sum up? What do you think will happen?

-possible headlines for the newspaper article.

As usual, the more talk the better!  You can make notes if you wish.  Enjoy talking about this favourite classic!
