Homework due Friday, 10th February

We have been looking at ways to write direct speech into our stories this week. Can you remember the things we found out? Watch this clip to refresh your memory:


http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/clips/zvftsbk

Task 1:  Rewrite the following sentences so that the speech (and everything else) is written correctly. Can you think of some alternative words for 'said'?


  1.  what time is it asked Sachin.
  2.  let’s have chicken for dinner said Monica. 
  3.  can I play on the computer Mum asked Kayla. 
  4.  i would like an ice cream please said Zara. 
  5.  that costs 12 euro said the shop-keeper. 
  6.  would you like to read a book asked the teacher. 
  7.  where is the cheese asked Kayleigh. 
  8.  what’s five times eight asked Miss Byrne. 
  9.  hooray shouted the children.


Task 2:


Think back to the 'Staying Out' suspense story and remember how Kev tried to convince his mother to let him go camping with his friend. Please write a brief paragraph including a conversation between Kev and his mother, using all you have learned about punctuating speech. You may even try to put some persuasive language in there!
